The Nairobi County Government's procurement department has defended the deal with WebTribe Ltd, the firm that owns e-payment system JamboPay, saying the company awarded the tender after reaching the threshold required by the Public Procurement Act.

While appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on Thursday, Nairobi County's procurement director Solomon Obiero said that out of the 65 companies that had showed interest in the bidding to collect revenue through automated systems, WebTribe emerged the best after a technical and financial evaluation.
