The so-called security procurement, which allows billions of shillings worth of contracts to be awarded behind closed doors, has become a major point of exposure for Kenyan taxpayers.

At the core of the Anglo Leasing scandal lay a scheme to single-source printing of second-generation passports, supply of prisons and Postal Corporation of Kenya communication equipment, besides the controversial Spanish naval ship.
