Shadowy firm link deepens confusion over railway tender
What you need to know:
- Parliament told two Kenyans registered a local company with Chinese name in 2008.
- The Registrar of Companies Bernice Gachegu said that CRBC-K was registered on December 23, 2008, around the time discussions on building a standard gauge railway began.
- Ms Gachegu said whereas the Chinese CRBC has nine directors all of Chinese origin, the local firm has only two directors Peter Mwangi Gatere and Leonard Mwangi Ndungu.
Two Kenyans registered a company with a name that is similar to the firm at the centre of the controversial Sh448 billion tender to build a standard gauge railway between Mombasa and Nairobi, deepening the confusion as to which company has the contract to undertake the works.
