The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has been ordered to restart the tender process for its 4.62 million carbon credits, which are worth Sh2.5 billion ($19.6 million), after the procurement watchdog found irregularities in the bidding process.

The Public Procurement Review Board (PPRB) nullified the firm’s decision to award the tender to a joint venture of Munja Trading Limited and Marwil Energy Holding AS, the third time that KenGen’s carbon credit sales have faced procurement challenges.
