Parliament has ordered the anti-graft agency to investigate how the Geothermal Development Corporation (GDC) inflated the transportation of power plant equipment in a deal worth to Sh1.7 billion.

The corporation offered Bonfide Clearing and Forwarding a contract in 2012 to move geothermal rigs and other equipment in 40 lots with each costing Sh42 million within a distance of 11 kilometres, bringing the worth of the entire deal to Sh1.7 billion.
