Youngster sets tongues wagging after Government pays him Sh66 million

The anti-graft agency is zeroing in on a youngster who owns a construction company after a State agency paid him a total of Sh66,282,671 in two tranches for work he did not do or even tendered for.

A source told The Grapevine that the contractor in his early 30s claims he does not know about the payment and that he was shocked when he went to get a clearance certificate from a Government agency and was informed that he has to pay 6 per cent of the contract sum to the revenue authority before he gets the certificate.
