Taxpayers to pay Sh4bn for botched abattoir deal
Tuesday January 19 2021
By EDWIN MUTAI
Summary
Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu said the State Department of Livestock faces the bill following a 1986 suit after the government took over the abattoir Halal Meat Products Limited in Ngong without compensation.
The State had intended to expand the facility and even provide additional land and a Sh27 million loan towards the project.
Halal Meat Products sued the Ministry of Agriculture over the takeover and demanded compensation for lost profits.
Taxpayers are set to foot a Sh4 billion compensation claim by a private meat firm for breach of contract for its abattoir taken over by the government.
