A Chinese firm has sued the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) for terminating a six-month contract extension amid plans for fresh procurement of the lucrative tender for inspection of imported goods, including motor vehicles.
World Standardisation Certification and Testing Group (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd took Kebs to court, arguing that the termination notice was suspect since the Pre-export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) tender process had reached a crucial stage.
