Kenya Power is in the spotlight after the public procurement watchdog found irregularities in a Sh1.86 billion tender for enlisting 2,810 private security guards.

The Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB) nullified the entire tender after it identified several flaws in the procurement process, such as conflicting rules on the number of guards, splitting zones despite a requirement to award them in full, unexplained changes to winning bids, and using due diligence to eliminate bidders at the preliminary stage.
