However, under cross-examination by Advocate Elisha Ongoya, Mutuse admitted that Crystal Kenya Limited did not participate as a bidder in the tender process. Instead, Mutuse clarified that Crystal Kenya Limited represents Shobika, the company currently under investigation for the controversial tender.
