An activist has sued the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) challenging its award of a multi-million tender for the proposed construction of Shimoni Fish port in Kwale to Southern Engineering Company Ltd (Seco).
Okiya Omtatah argues that there is a conflict of interest since Seco was the consultant who conducted both bathymetric and geotechnical surveys of the project, effectively participating in the preparation of bid documents and then bidding in the tender and won.
