The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is investigating a Sh404 million procurement at the Kenya Pipeline Company. Composite sleeves are used to restore corroded or damaged sections to a safe operating condition without shutting down the pipeline. KPC procured 620 composite sleeves of various sizes at inflated prices. The investigation involves KPC’s procurement of composite sleeves in 2013-14 for $4,046,744 (Sh404 million) from a local company, Thermodynamic General Supplies. The procurement was allegedly inflated, resulting in a loss of at least Sh230 million.
