They are accused as co-directors of Erad Suppliers that on separate dates in 2004 presented forged Invoices before the Arbitration court and received orders to be paid Kshs.314 Million which the court has now found out to be all forgeries but they argued that they lost business through the cancellation of tenders and ought to be compensated.
They claimed that they were partners with a South African firm by the name Chelsea Freight who also lost in the deal.
The National and Cereals Produce Board cancelled the tender because they couldn’t supply the Emergency relief maize during that period but went to the Arbitration court and were awarded the said amount totaling to Kshs.314 Millions.
