The Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission has told a Nairobi court that it was justified to search electoral commission chief executive James Oswago’s two homes and offices.
The team told Lady Justice Mumbi Ngugi Wednesday that Mr Oswago had the primary responsibility of ensuring compliance with the law on public procurement by virtue of his office.
They said there were serious breaches to procurement rules in the award of tender of the supply of biometric electronic voter kits that failed during the March 4 General Election.
ALTERED SPECIFICATIONS
The South African firm awarded the tender, Face Technologies, allegedly altered the specifications of items without the tender committee’s approval and was unable to supply the kits in the initial contract.
The ethics commission was responding to a suit filed by Mr Oswago over the searches conducted on August 7 at his two homes in Uyoma and Nairobi’s Loresho and Embakasi estates as well as his office at Anniversary Towers.
