On July 16, 2020, former Kenya Pipeline Managing Director Charles Tanui was charged with the irregular payment of Sh30 million for the supply of three transformers in 2003.
He was charged alongside Elias Maina Karori, the former chief manager in charge of the Technical department, and Josphat Sirima, the former chief Engineer.
According to court records, the offences were committed between 2003 and 2014 at the company's premises in Nairobi.
The prosecution accused the trio of failing to follow the procurement procedures in the award of the tender for the supply and installation of the transformers.
Before anti-corruption Chief Magistrate Douglas Ogoti, the trio denied the charges and were released on a cash bail of Sh700,000 each or an alternative Sh3 million bond and one surety.
