Tender Panel Ignored PS Advice On Chopper

[The Star]The commission inquiring into the Ngong helicopter crash was yesterday told how the tender committee that procured the ill-fated Eurocopter ignored advice given by then Internal Security PS Francis Kimemia to consult an approved list of aircraft manufacturers. A chief finance officer at the police headquarters, John Wambugu, told the commission probing the crash that the tender committee did not consult the Administration Police department which had the approved list of helicopters.
