Former Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC) Managing Director Pamela Nduku Mutua and the supply chain manager were Tuesday charged over the multi-million edible oil scandal of 2022.

Appearing before Milimani Anti-Corruption Chief Magistrate Thomas Nzioki Mutua, the former KNTC boss and the manager of supply, chain, and logistics Amos Juma Sikuku denied five graft charges of abuse of office and failure to comply with procurement laws while awarding the tender to Purma Holdings Limited, a company associated with a city businesswoman.
