The former electoral commission chief executive and senior officials at the secretariat ganged up to keep the commissioners in the dark about the awarding of more than 100 contracts, the commission chairman told MPs yesterday.

Wafula Chebukati told the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that this prompted him to order an internal audit that later revealed massive misappropriation of taxpayers' money.
