EACC submitted that the officials failed to deal with the public trust bestowed on them as public officials. Through two separate suits filed at the High Court, EACC wants the four KSL officials, two traders and their two companies compelled to refund Sh80,104,661 paid to them without supplying any goods or services. Gondi is also listed as director Firmline Company, which is alleged to have received part of the money. In the second suit, EACC claimed that Deskench Investments Limited received Sh32,807,671 through collusion with the named officials when they had not supplied any goods and services. The commission added that the deputy director, finance director and the finance manager failed to adhere to KSL’s internal controls on managing finances, which resulted in the loss of public funds.
