Businessman Benson Gethi, who is linked to the National Youth Service (NYS) scandal, and a relative were on Monday found guilty of using forged documents to win a Sh105 million tender for supply of solar lanterns to the electoral body for use in the 2013 General Election.
Mr Gethi and the relative, Joyce Makena, were convicted by anti-corruption chief magistrate Lawrence Mugambi on two counts of forging a tax compliance certificate from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and presenting it to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to qualify for the tender in 2012.
