Treasury Principal Secretary Kamau Thugge and deputy Solicitor General Muthoni Kimani disclosed Thursday that Anura Perrera had made the claim over a pending contract for National Intelligence Service (NIS) project.

The two were speaking before the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly.

Perrera owns First Mercantile and Universal Satspace, two firms which the government paid Sh1.4 billion on Monday, according to Dr Thugge.
