Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Firm got Sh500m from NCPB through fraud

Documents that an arbitrator relied on to award a businessman Sh500 million against the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) in a breach of contract dispute were fraudulent, the court has been heard. Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) told Court of Appeal judges they had information from South Africa that the tender security bid Erad Supplies and General Contractors submitted to the arbitrator and courts was a forgery.

EACC, which is seeking to be enjoined in the suit submitted through lawyer Ben Murei, said it had obtained the crucial evidence recorded by South African authorities on October 29, this year, and was relevant in the appeal filed by NCPB.
