Cash-strapped Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) is on the spot for hiring and paying a local and London-based law firms Sh1.3 billion without tendering and contracts in an international arbitration case.

Auditor-General Edward Ouko says the public broadcaster did not procure the law firms through open tendering, lacked a contract and it failed to seek the guidance of the Attorney General when hiring the lawyers as demanded by the law.
