On November 14, 2019, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) confirmed receipt of files from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) regarding a 2.7 billion scandal at the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA).
Three files were submitted, focusing on the Makongeni Goodshed Project, construction of concrete barriers, and the revitalization of the Kisumu port.
According to DPP Noordin Haji, the files were handed over for scrutiny, and if satisfied, the ODPP would proceed with charges.
At the center of the scandal is KPA Managing Director Daniel Manduku, who allegedly authorized irregular expenditure totaling Ksh.2.7 billion for the three projects.
Mr. Manduku now faces a total of 30 counts of corruption and abuse of offices charges in all the three projects.
