Kenyan taxpayers could have lost Sh1.6 billion after a fuel-testing and monitoring tender to two qualified local firms was withdrawn and issued to another company, at a price more than four times higher.
Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu revealed that the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) withdrew a contract it had awarded the two local firms at Sh546 million, only to later hand the deal to a sole bidder at Sh2.3 billion.
