Taxpayers risk forking out Sh3 billion more if Irrigation principal secretary Patrick Nduati Mwangi awards the controversial tender for construction of Thwake dam to the second lowest bidder as recommended by the Ministerial Tender Committee (MTC).
Official bidding documents show that the MTC, which Mr Mwangi appointed on February 9, 2017, overruled recommendations of the Tender Processing Committee (TPC) to award the Sh62.3 billion tender to China Gezhouba Construction Group Corporation (CGGC) -- the lowest evaluated bidder.
