The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has ordered former Kenya Pipeline Company MD Charles Tanui to surrender over an alleged irregular payment of Sh30 million. In a statement on Wednesday, EACC ordered Tanui to present himself to the Integrity Centre immediately. Tanui is among three officials accused of making a fraudulent payment of Sh30 million in a phantom tender at KPC for the installation of transformers using false documents. EACC CEO Twalib Mbarak said investigations revealed the trio were answerable for the irregular payment to a firm (Redline Limited) for supplies that were never installed. The trio will also be charged with wilful failure to comply with the law relating to procurement.
