NAIROBI: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is assisting Tanzanian authorities to have a Kenyan at the centre of a Sh600 million ($6M) bribery scandal in Tanzania arrested and questioned. President Joseph Magufuli’s administration has sought Kenya’s help to have Mr Bashir Awale, a former bank official, record a statement. Three Tanzanians have already been charged in court over the kickbacks emanating from a sovereign bond raised in 2013, with the Kenyan being listed as one of the accused. Tanzania’s Attorney General George Masaju wrote to his Kenyan counterpart Githu Muigai under a Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA), asking to have the man provide evidence two years after he was deported. International bond Awale is accused of organising the money as an inducement to have state officials favour two banks when Tanzania floated an international bond in 2012.
