The East African Portland Cement (EAPC) has been ordered to hand a Sh573 million solar generation contract to a company it had denied since last year, forcing the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB) to supervise the process.

The order to award Spenomatic Kenya Ltd the bid followed at least four legal battles before the board and the High Court, as the cement maker sought to award the tender to Central Electricals International Ltd.
