Top managers of Kenya’s state-owned Geothermal Development Company were charged with inflating procurement costs so they could steal the excess. A whistleblower revealed that they awarded a contract worth US$19.5 million to move equipment, but the same contractor had charged another client US$230,000 for similar work. Transparency International Kenya subsequently worked with GDC’s new management team to improve the company’s procurement processes – as well as the wider procurement context for renewable energy projects.
