Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) has moved to court to challenge a decision of the procurement watchdog, directing it to re-do a multi-million tender for consultancy services of the planned Sh31.9 billion Olkaria VII geothermal plant.

Appearing before Justice John Chigiti yesterday, KenGen said it was aggrieved by the decision of the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board on June 11, cancelling the award, which had been awarded to ELC Electroconsult.
