Former Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) boss Daniel Manduku () was yesterday charged with causing the loss of over Sh2 billion from the state agency. Should Manduku and his co-accused, Juma Fadhili, a works officer at KPA, be found guilty of the four offenses they have been accused of, they could be jailed for over ten years or fined twice the amount allegedly lost under their watch.

However, the script was different yesterday when the DPP approved the charges with Manduku and Fadhili pleading not guilty to the charge of conspiracy to commit and offence of corruption. “Between March and August 2019, being persons employed at KPA as Managing Director and a Works Officer respectively, conspired to commit an offence of corruption by approving procurement of concrete barriers worth Sh1,429,730,721 without approved budget,” read the charge sheet.
