A fresh Sh62 million scandal has rocked the Kenya Ports Authority in what is threatening to destroy the careers of top officials of the troubled state corporation. The Star has established that in the new scandal, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption unearthed irregular awarding of a Sh40 million tender given to the mother of a senior KPA clerical officer. The mother of the KPA official was allegedly awarded the tender through her firm, Chemiso East Africa. Although the tender was for Sh40 million, EACC says KPA paid out Sh62.7 million. Also recommended for prosecution are head of civil engineering, all members of the tender evaluation committee and the proprietor and signatory of Chemiso East Africa.
