The intrigues surrounding the importation of Sh17 billion diesel have deepened after the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) management disowned missing businesswoman's importation documents for the cargo.

KPA Chairman Benjamin Tayari claimed the bill of lading Ms Anne Njeri Njoroge was using as the documents for the importation of the 100,000 metric tonnes of diesel from Turkey were not genuine. Tayari, who was flanked by KPA Managing Director William Ruto, also denied claims the woman had been to the port to process the importation documents for the oil in question imported by Ann's Import and Export Company.
