Israeli police in Kenya to probe roads tender scam

Israeli police have landed in Nairobi to investigate alleged bribery of top Kenyan Transport ministry officials by an Israeli construction firm in a move that promises to open up the dark deal-making boardrooms where multi-billion shillings roads tenders are awarded.

Tel Aviv-based construction group, Shikun & Binui, is under investigation for alleged bribery of Kenyan officials to win lucrative road contracts in Nairobi – setting the stage yet again for a possible unmasking of the corruption kingpins in government.
