FILE PHOTO | NMGThree Kenya Pipeline Company officials have been sent on leave to pave the way for investigations into irregular issuing of multi-million tenders at the state-owned agency. KPC Managing Director Joe Sang on Tuesday said the three were suspended on Monday as investigators review tenders worth Sh58.8 billion. The investigators want to establish whether some of the tenders were irregular and led to loss of taxpayers’ money. The tenders include Sh48 billion for a new pipeline from Mombasa to Nairobi, the Sh2.1 billion Sinendet–Kisumu pipeline, and the Sh1.7 billion Kisumu oil jetty.
