MPs want the Auditor General to conduct a forensic audit into the multibillion-shilling tender that the taxman awarded a Swiss multinational security printer, Sicpa, for the supply of excise duty stamps.

The National Assembly’s Public Investments Committee on Commercial and Energy Affairs wants Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu to conduct a special audit into the five-year contract for the provision of excisable stamps on a range of consumer products, including soda, bottled water, fresh juices, beer, spirits, cosmetics and cigarettes.
