The anti-corruption watchdog is seeking charges against the former managing director of the Waste Management Corporation over the purchase of a used dump truck by the state-owned corporation in 2017.
Mohamed Shifau is accused of abuse of authority to unduly benefit a third party, according to an investigation report released by the Anti-Corruption Commission on Sunday.
The 350 kilo dump truck was sold to WAMCO by a company called Quebec Investments but it was registered under M CO Holdings, whose shareholders included Shifau, the ACC explained.
WAMCO’s initial bid request for a one tonne truck was later changed and the smaller vessel was purchased at an inflated cost.
