A multibillion-shilling pre-exports inspection tender by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) has been suspended by the High Court, marking the third such decision by judges and the public procurement watchdog.

In the latest development, Justice John Chigiti suspended the tender following a petition by TUV Austria Turk, alleging that Kebs notified bidders of awards before considering the professional opinion, as required by section 84 of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act.
