flag PwC subsidiaries banned 21 months for rigging a Kenya-Ethiopia power project contract.

flag The World Bank has banned three PwC subsidiaries—PwC Kenya, PwC Rwanda, and PwC Associates Africa—for 21 months from World Bank-funded projects after they admitted to rigging a 2019 consultancy contract for the Sh149.8 billion Eastern Electricity Highway Project linking Kenya and Ethiopia. flag The firms obtained confidential procurement data, misrepresented expert qualifications, and failed to disclose subconsultants to unfairly influence contract awards. flag The reduced penalty reflects their cooperation, internal investigations, disciplinary actions, and commitment to implement a World Bank-aligned integrity compliance program. flag The debarment triggers cross-debarment by other major development banks under a mutual enforcement agreement.
