The government lost Sh201 million in the KPLC scandal involving the supply of faulty transformers, a court heard yesterday. Also charged in the scandal are directors of MUWA trading company James Mungai, Grace Mungai and John Mungai. "As a result of the fraudulent scheme, valueless transformer were left lying in KPLC yards yet payments had been made to MUWA," Muteti said. Earlier, defence lawyers objected to the prosecution’s bid to present an opening statement, saying it was prejudicial. Kombo dismissed the application by the defence team, saying the opening statement by the DPP had no evidential value and so was not prejudicial to the accused persons.
