By JOSEPH WANGUIMore by this AuthorThe office of the Deputy President has once again been dragged into a multi-million shilling tender scandal involving supply of laptops. Two businessmen were charged on Friday with offering fake tender documents for supply of 2,800 laptops valued at Sh180 million, under Deputy President William Ruto's name. THE CHARGESAdvertisementCourt documents indicate that the two obtained the HP laptops from Makindu Motors along the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway, claiming they had a genuine tender document from the DP’s office. Ms Nyamai told the court that her clients' arraignment was delayed as they were arrested a day before. Regarding the delayed presentation in court, Mr Cheruiyot said it is "a shenanigan that should stop" as it is aimed at using the courts to ensure suspects remain in custody.
