Ernst & Young subcontracted the Horn Economic and Financial Institute (Hefi), as it needed assistance from people with good knowledge of realities on the ground. In October 2018, a whistleblower made corruption allegations against some Ernst & Young and Hefi staff. Mr Gathungu sued arguing that his responses to the allegations and which would have trashed the graft claims went ignored by Ernst & Young. He adds that Ernst & Young has refused to grant him access to records that are crucial for prosecuting his main suit. He insists that Ernst & Young are in contempt of the court’s orders and its partners should be punished.
