EACC detectives believe that Mr Tanui, Mr Karumi and Mr Sirma colluded to ensure that Redline got paid despite not having done any works. Yesterday Mr Haji, now satisfied with the latest probe report, gave the EACC to arrest and process Mr Tanui, Mr Karumi and Mr Sirma in preparation for prosecution. Mr Karumi and Mr Sirma were arrested shortly afterwards, but Mr Tanui could not be immediately traced. EACC CEO Twalib Mbarak has now directed Mr Tanui to surrender himself to officers at the Integrity Centre. Their prosecution could now open the door for Mr Mbarak’s office to pursue the other 126 cases that collapsed in 2017.
