The KPA shared a letter of offer dated March 21, in which KPA had been given 30 days to pay Sh132 million to lease the plot. The KPA sent the Nation a gazette notice dated October 30, 2018 on the appointment of the “Makongeni KPA Peripheral Facility” as a customs area. Since the procurement for the barriers was not in the approved capital budget for the 2018-2019 financial year, the KPA procurement system could not authorise such expenditure. But in the latest procurement, KPA agreed to pay Sh79,193 per barrier. The MD is also caught up in a Sh800 million procurement row for the Kisumu port for, detectives say, assuming the duties of a procurement officer.
