Parliament has since summoned two governors, Martin Wambora (Embu) and Francis Kimemia (Nyandarua) as well as Kipipiri MP Amos Kimunya and his Banisa counterpart Hassan Kulow and the KAA tender committee over the cancellation of the tender.
Mr Kimemia was the Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet while Mr Wambora served as the chairperson of the KAA board when the tender was cancelled. Mr Kimunya was the Minister for Transport.
Documents tabled before the Public Investments Committee (PIC) shows that M/s ACEG-CATIC wants KAA to pay it Sh2 billion for the preparation of bill of quantities (BOQ), Sh2.4 billion in extra costs and Sh708.2 million being 16 per cent value added tax (VAT).
The Chinese contractor has slapped KAA with a Sh500 million claim in interest and penalties for delayed payment of VAT charged by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
It is seeking a further Sh5.6 billion comprising balance of the contract for BOQ, extra cost claim, VAT and interest and penalties bringing the total claim to Sh17.6 billion.
