Archive · Critical news report. English digest based on publisher material dated 2018.
What the source reports
The Standard raised questions about the cost of the tax-stamp work awarded to SICPA and about the supplier.
Reading the original source
The Standard reported that an original €42 million contract covering 3.55 billion stamps a year was later expanded to €158 million for 12.87 billion stamps. The story also recorded ongoing litigation and attributed the overseas-corruption assertions it repeated rather than presenting them as Kenyan findings.
Context and scope
The review classifies the item as critical reporting. Questions about cost or procurement are not themselves a criminal conviction, and later KRA appeal developments also belong in the chronology.
