For nearly six years, the Nairobi City County officials sent hundreds of millions of shillings to shadowy businesspeople for supplies that never arrived.

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) says at least Sh407 million vanished through fraudulent payments involving 14 businesses.

High Court filings reveal the elaborate scheme of unqualified vendors, forged documents, non-existent deliveries, and greedy county officials.
