The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has flagged a Sh313.8 million tender by the Nairobi County for the supply of street lighting electrical materials, saying the contract was awarded irregularly to eight companies during the fiscal year ending June 2023.
According to the anti-graft watchdog, investigations have established that the letters of notification of intention to enter into the contract were written on February 6, 2023, while local purchase orders (LPOs) were signed on the same day contrary to procedural provisions which require a 14-day waiting period.
