Anti-graft detectives have unearthed an audacious attempt by dishonest state officials to steal Sh4.8 billion through fictitious security contracts in the Office of the President. Prisons Commissioner General Isaiah Osugo told EACC he was not aware of the security contracts, some of which involved heavy artillery that is not meant for prison warders. “There was no authority from either the National Security Advisory Committee or the National Security Council authorizing the procumbent of the security items,” EACC documents seen by the Star states. The ministry also awarded Sh158 million tender for the supply of pistols to a firm called Sumsun Yurt Savunma San. The Sh200 million sling tender was awarded to Milways Enterprises associated with Jubilee's nominated Senator Millicent Omanga.
