We are ready to cooperate with investigators in Ksh.40M tender fraud, says Insurance Broker

According to the Group's chief legal counsel Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officials visited their offices in Nairobi armed with a search warrant and were accorded all the needed cooperation. 

“Furthermore, we have since then taken steadfast legal action against all the fabricators and are pleased to say that the court has found merit in our case,” he said. 

He further claimed the company had learnt of rogue groups, operating in the coast region, who were targeting senior parastatal officials in an attempt to blackmail them with false allegations in an effort to extort ransoms from them.

“Unfortunately, without due caution, on the genesis of the matter, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) decided to conduct a search at Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) and a sample of service providers including our organization.”

“This was orchestrated by activists who are out to extort money from organizations,” he added. 

On November 28, EACC staged a search operation at the offices of Liaison Group Insurance Brokers Limited in Nairobi and Mombasa and questioned two top company officials in a Ksh.40 million probe. 

Those questioned include Julius Kitheka, the General Manager of Healthcare and Danson Kaba the Mombasa Branch Manager.

The officials were questioned over alleged collusion with KMA to fraudulently secure a Ksh.40,539,760.00 medical insurance tender.
