The African Development Bank (AfDB) has blacklisted Joycot General Contractors Limited for engaging in fraudulent practices.

This means that starting September 8, 2023, the building company will no longer interact with the pan-African lender.

During a tender for the construction of reticulation sewers in Kahawa West, Kahawa Sukari, a part of the Nairobi Rivers Basin Rehabilitation and Restoration Programme: Sewerage Improvement Project Phase II, Kenya, the contractor engaged in fraudulent practices, according to an investigation by the AfDB's Office of Integrity and Anti-Corruption.
