The procurement watchdog on Wednesday kicked off closed door-hearing of a landmark case challenging the award of a multibillion shilling tender for printing new look currency to British firm De La Rue International last year.
Swedish firm Crane AB, through lawyer James Gitau Singh accuses Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) of breaching the Constitution and lacking transparency in awarding the deal to De La Rue International under the guise of 15 per cent margin preference for having local shareholding.
