The construction of a 1,000-bed students' hostel at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology (JOOUST) has raised concerns following audit concerns over contract variations.
The National Assembly's Public Investments Committee (PIC) on Governance and Education has launched fresh investigations into payments totaling Sh844 million and an ongoing court dispute involving the contractor.
The committee, chaired by Luanda MP Dick Maungu, resolved to summon former Vice-Chancellor Prof. Stephen Gaya Agong, project consultants and auditors to explain the circumstances surrounding the project's rising costs and whether procurement laws were followed.
