Minister’s kin in Sh9b edible oil tender scandal
One of the companies involved in the Sh9.3 billion edible oil at the centre of an importation storm is owned by a brother of a Cabinet Secretary, documents in our possession reveal.
Last week, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) wrote to the Registrar of Companies requesting information relating to three companies that imported the oil.
“This office is investigating a case involving procurement irregularities whereby the companies featured. To facilitate our investigations, kindly but urgently furnish us with the requested information,” reads the letter.
The companies are, Multi Commerce FZC, Charma Holding Limited and Shehena Commodity Trading Limited.
In the letter, Zachary Kariuki of the DCI Operations Support Unit wants the registrar to provide among other documents, particulars of the directors which should include the names, nationality and ID/ passport numbers.
