Three directors of a construction company are in trouble with the law over a sensational public funds scandal involving Matili Training Institute (MTTI) in Bungoma County.
The directors were nabbed by officers from the Ethics and Anti-graft Commission (EACC) on allegations of procurement irregularities and financial fraud.
According to EACC, the fraud scheme was linked to a construction project at the government-run institution, which was initially awarded a sum of Ksh29 million.
The EACC reports that the tender for the construction of a twin workshop complex at MTTI was later inflated to Ksh59 million - a figure which was nearly double the original cost.
