Kisumu, Kenya: Controversy over a Sh18 billion solid waste management contract signed between the Kisumu County government and a German investor deepened after a resident said he was moving to the high court to challenge its legality.
The contract, allegedly signed on behalf of the county by the Executive member for Finance Joseph Omulo Okal and the investor, Madam R Enterprises has raised eyebrows as it was allegedly signed without the knowledge of Kisumu governor Jacktone Ranguma.
Eric Okeyo, a resident of the county and a political activist are seeking to have the high court compel the County Government to stop any further negotiations of the contract and to have the county government disclose if any public participation took place before the signing of the agreement.
Ranguma is reported as having disowned the document.
