Former Interior Principal Secretary (PS) Karanja Kibicho pressured the energy regulator to cancel a competitive and cheaper fuel marking tender in favour of a handpicked Swiss multinational in a deal that will cost taxpayers Sh1.6 billion in the three years to June 2025.
Mr Kibicho fired a stern letter to the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra), ordering its director-general, Daniel Kiptoo, to cancel an earlier tender and award the deal to SICPA SA, documents seen by the Business Daily.
