FLAWED TENDERSOn Monday, all the KPA board members, apart from their chairman Joseph Kibwana, spent the whole day at the DCI headquarters for questioning over flawed tenders at the port amounting to Sh2.7 billion. Also questioned yesterday is Kenya Railways Corporation MD Philip Mainga over what he knows about the Makongeni yard, which KPA had intended to buy but the deal never materialised. Sources close to the investigation told the Nation that Mr Mainga told detectives that the land in question still belongs to Kenya Railways Corporation and KPA has never paid a cent for it. The three files include the Makongeni Goodshed Project, construction of concrete barriers and the revitalisation of the Kisumu port. This means that yesterday’s interrogation was probably meant to tie up some lose ends before a final decision is made.
