The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has secured the dismissal of five applications by Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi and other defendants seeking to strike out its suit for the recovery of Ksh 813.1 million linked to alleged irregularities in road tender awards.
The suit relates to payments to five companies for road contracts awarded by the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA).
EACC alleges that Wamatangi, while serving as a Senator, used his position to influence tender awards to companies in which he held a beneficial interest, and that forged or falsified documents were used to secure the contracts.
