By JILL NAMATSIMore by this AuthorThe Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested six people over the fraudulent purchase of audit vault software by the office of the Auditor-General at a cost of Sh100 million. The software was purchased from Open Systems Integration (OSI) Kenya "through direct procurement, purporting to be the only accredited partner of Oracle". "EXAGGERATED"The EACC reported that single sourcing was unjustified in the procurement and that "the payment was grossly exaggerated". The EACC said Director of Public Prosecution reviewed the file on the matter and approved charges against 24 individuals and organisations. They include former Deputy Auditor-General Stephen Ndung'u Kinuthia; Justus Ongera, the ICT director in the Office of the Auditor-General; and IT manager Annette Mwangi.
