The tender evaluation Committee was appointed by the chief officer public works, Roads and Transport, Peter Koskey on the 18th April 2018, as a result , Jemorah Construction company was awarded after submitting the lowest bid at a sum of Kenya shilling 97, 421,980.


EACC said that the company was not registered with the National Constructions Authority adding that forged completion certificates were used by the company, therefore  it had no capacity to undertake the construction at all.  The completion certificates  were purported to be obtained from the county government of Narok and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority, Nakuru South Regional office.


The Office of the director of public prosecutions concurred with the recommendations of EACC to charge the Four and they will be arraigned at the Kericho Anti- Corruption Magistrates Court on Wednesday 20th July, 2022.
