New information has come to light on how Mary Wambui, chairwoman of the Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK), gave herself a multi-billion dollar fiber optic laying contract.
Wambui was appointed CAK chairperson by President William Ruto in February. Six months later, Wambui, who former president Uhuru Kenyatta had accused of participating in money laundering offenses, had given her company Nightingale Enterprises a multi-billion dollar contract to build fiber optic cables.
The contract is a key component of President William Ruto’s election campaign pledge to build a digital superhighway, which will enable various economic sectors to expand employment possibilities and access government services with a single click.
Given that the multibillion-dollar tender was awarded to Wambui’s company in a single transaction and that she owns the briefcase firm, there may be a conflict of interest concern.
We pray that a patriotic Kenyan would file a lawsuit to stop these CAK hyenas from stealing taxpayer money.
