The High Court will determine whether to summon Kenya Pipeline Company’s legal officer and an Indian firm managing director over Sh5 billion oil tanks construction deal.

Justice Francis Gikonyo, after hearing both sides of the suit filed by a local contractor against the State Corporation and an Indian firm, will rule on whether to call for KPC’s Legal Officer Gloria Khafafa, Prashanth Ltd Managing Director Nadathur Bharath and an agent in the deal David Kingarui over their affidavits.
