Former staffers from Nairobi county's Trade department have been taken to task over the award of Sh6.3 million contract through a restricted tender. The tender was awarded to Tononoka company for the supply of fireworks for 2017 New Year celebrations. In a previous sitting, it was revealed the tender committee meeting was held on December 22, 2016 , two days after the Local Purchase Order (LPO) had been already issued to M/s Tononoka Limited. But one of my officers confirmed the delivery and they inspected the fireworks," Agwena said. The committee's chairman, Wilfred Odalo, ruled that the whole tendering process was marred by interests and conspiracy with an intention to defraud the county.
