Dispute over how Sh600 million paid to one partner in a consortium that has been contracted to expand Kenya Pipeline Company’s (KPC) fuel terminal in Nairobi, is threatening to derail work in the Sh5 billion project.
The project, scheduled for completion in early 2017, could fall behind schedule after disagreement erupted between India’s Prashanth Project Ltd and their local partners, Nyoro Constructors. The local firm claims that its partner in the project, Prashanth, received the Sh600million payment behind its back.
