During the period, Nyali Capital Company, owned by suspended Finance General Manager Patrick Nyoike, was also given preferential treatment in awarding of tenders and payment for supplies, according to KPA’s former head of audit Fredrick Oyugi. Oyugi said Nyali Capital Company, a financial institution, could have fallen in the category of special vendors. Nyoike and Obunga have denied charges of abuse of office and releasing Sh215 million to Nyali Capital Company illegally. On Monday, former KPA Managing Director Catherine Wairi told the court she is the one who ordered an audit which later revealed how Nyoike’s company was doing business in KPA illegally. “I ordered an audit after an employee alerted me about deals Nyali Capital Company was doing in the port with KPA vendors,” said Wairi.
