Published on July 13, 2021, a source revealed a shocking scandal at the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), where the culture of kickbacks has been normalized.
According to the source, it is a de facto policy that every foreigner bidding for a contract advertised by KENHA must pay Sh100 million in bribes in foreign denominations, with the US dollar and Euro being the currency of choice.
On the other hand, each Kenyan company willing to be considered for any contracts at KENHA will pay not less than Sh10 million in cash. The bribery amounts are collected at strategic locations by Engineer Njuguna Gatitu, who is the executive in charge of Road Asset and Corridor Maintenance.
The scheme is so tight that those who go against it face the wrath of their seniors, most of whom report directly to Transport CS James Macharia.
The corrupt networks at KENHA are reportedly in direct contact with CS Transport and Infrastructure James Macharia, who is given kickbacks through his indirect links assigned work at KENHA.
To rope key politicians on their side, KeNHA's corrupt gang always dish out contracts to some of the loudest of them.
Officials from the DCI, EACC, and other investigating agencies are also put on a payroll where 'talking while eating' is forbidden.
The Ahero – Kisian maintenance project was awarded to a firm associated with DP Ruto, with a kickback of Sh20 million paid to Peter Mundinia.
