Prices of the 18 security projects linked to the Anglo Leasing scandal were grossly inflated, a court heard yesterday.

In his opening statement, State Counsel Mungai Warui said the prosecution would adduce evidence to demonstrate that as a consequence of actions by senior government officials, the Postal Corporation of Kenya entered into a questionable contract in which the Government lost huge sums of money.
