CS required to answer questions over payments made during the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) Destination Expo

Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala is Monday morning expected at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), where he was summoned over a Sh100 million tender scandal.

Balala is expected at the anti-graft agency for questioning over payments made during the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) Destination Expo that was held in Nairobi in 2017.

According to a letter by EACC to Balala, investigations to allegations of irregular award of the contract to host the conference are ongoing.

The CS  last week said his ministry is cooperating with the investigators and denied reports that his house had been raided by EACC detectives in the course of the investigation.
