Contracts awarded to two companies, Msafiri Feeds and Norift, show how taxpayers may be losing millions in dubious procurement systems at the KWS. The biggest cash cow was corned beef, and KWS paid Sh1,210 for each 350-gramme can. KWS bought 3,630 cans of corned beef and condemned taxpayers to paying Sh4.3 million – double the retail price. At a time that a standard roll of tissue paper was selling at Sh60 in local supermarkets, the KWS paid Sh150 – three times the retail cost – for each piece. Msafiri Feeds Ltd, the company awarded the supply contract, has been linked to at least two procurement scandals at City Hall.
