Ms Khafafa is said to have been hired fraudulently, without papers.

Sang has been at the centre of graft allegations in which the company lost over 23 million litres of fuel.

The scandal riddled firm’s troubles started during the 2013/14 financial year when KPC tendered to deliver 60 hydrant pit valves for Jomo Kenyatta International Airport at a cost of Ksh647 million.
