Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC) board chairman John Ngumi has denied any impropriety in the financing of the Sh48 billion Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline.

Mr Ngumi has been under siege, with questions of conflict of interest being raised following revelations that he was the lead negotiator for Stanbic Bank in the financing of the pipeline when he was an employee at the bank.
