An anti-corruption court is set to hear the Sh8.6 million graft case facing Bomas of Kenya CEO Peter Gitaa Koria.
Koria was charged with the offence in April this year.
He has since denied charges of procurement irregularity amounting to Sh8.6 million.
The fraud, according to the prosecution, was committed between December 29 and 30 June 2021.
It is alleged that Koria being the CEO and Accounting officer of Bomas of Kenya, wilfully failed to comply with the law relating to procurement.
He was accused of engaging in a procurement process without an approved budget for various tenders during the financial 2020/2021.
The charges indicate that Koria engaged in procurement irregularities in the award of the following public tenders: Quotation No.15/Kitchen Items; Quotation No.16/Utensils; Quotation No.17/Kitchen Items; Quotation No.18/Plates & Cups and Quotation No.19/Cutlery and Other Items which were not factored in the Bomas of Kenya's Budget and Procurement Plan FY 2020/2021.
He is out on a cash bail of Sh1 million.
