‘I Will Expose Civil Servant!’ – Oscar Sudi Declares
Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has pledged to deliver a bombshell that will expose the government.
Sudi claimed in a Facebook post on Saturday, November 9, that he is drafting a study that will expose government executives, primarily chiefs of parastatals and ministries, who are abusing their positions to benefit from government procurement.
“I’m finalizing an earthshaking report that will expose government officers, major heads of procurement in parastatals and ministries, who are favoring their own companies under proxies to scoop multi-million government tenders,” he revealed.
Sudi, a government insider, revealed that the suspected perpetrators of corruption in government are well-known figures.
He noted that the people behind it are excluding respectable businessmen who are qualified for the tenders.

These well-known individuals are discriminating…
“These well-known individuals are discriminating against and mistreating legitimate businessmen by locking them out of public government tenders despite being qualified,” he claimed.
The congressman vowed to expose the perpetrators who are harming operations at several government ministries.
“I will be calling out these culprits one by one who has our ministries in a chokehold,” Sudi claimed.
Kenya has been notorious for multiple government tender scams that have rocked the country, jeopardizing the delivery of goods and services to Kenyans.
The Anglo-Leasing multi-million dollar affair, in which USD 33 million (about Ksh4.2 billion at the current exchange rate) vanished into thin air.
The fraud involved Anglo Leasing Finance, which was paid by the government to offer high-tech printing equipment, as well as other fake companies.
Earlier this year, the US identified extortion in public contracts as a barrier to investor inflows.

“Corruption remains a substantial barrier to doing business in Kenya,” US Trade Representative Katherine Tai claimed in a report.
“US firms continue to report challenges competing against foreign firms that are willing to ignore legal standards or engage in bribery and other forms of corruption.”
To forestall the problem caused by procurement fraud, the government took action and is currently implementing a Ksh560 million e-procurement system.
The goal is to automate the process and save billions of dollars for taxpayers.
