TENDERThe judge issued the directions on Tuesday after CBK accused the firm of illegally acquiring tender documents for a process it had not participated in. CBK also claimed that the firm had failed to disclose how the disputed documents were acquired. COMPANIESDe la Rue and EPZ Ltd have sued CBK, claiming that it failed to consider local companies in the tender. “The danger of allowing this process is that we could end up with another Anglo-Leasing kind of scandal,” said De la Rue. De la Rue wanted tender number CBK/37/2017 for the printing and supply of the new design of Kenyan currency notes to be temporarily suspended, pending the hearing and determination of its case.
