An activist has filed a petition at the High Court in Mombasa seeking the ouster of Kenya Ports Authority Managing Director William Ruto over irregularities in a Sh31 billion tender.
Francis Awino, the president of the Bunge la Mwananchi lobby, claims investigations by civic actors revealed that the tender was tainted by collusion, abuse of discretion, concealment of procurement details, and the undue exclusion of local expertise and oversight, violating both constitutional and statutory principles.
He has named the MD as the respondent in the case.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Auditor General, and Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, and the National Treasury have been named as interested parties.
