The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) has announced the debarment of Joycot General Contractors, effective from September 8, 2023, for a period of 15 months.

Joycot General Contractors is a registered construction company operating under the laws of Kenya.

The decision to debar Joycot General Contractors Ltd. comes after an investigation conducted by the Bank’s Office of Integrity and Anti-Corruption revealed the company’s involvement in fraudulent practices. These practices were related to a tender for the construction of reticulation sewers in Kahawa West, Kahawa Sukari, a key component of the Nairobi Rivers Basin Rehabilitation and Restoration Programme: Sewerage Improvement Project Phase II in Kenya.

The Nairobi Rivers Basin Rehabilitation and Restoration Programme: Sewerage Improvement Project Phase II aimed to enhance access, quality, availability, and sustainability of wastewater services in Nairobi City, a critical initiative for urban development and environmental preservation.

As a result of the debarment, Joycot General Contractors will be ineligible to participate in any Bank Group-financed activities during the 15-month period.

Upon the expiration of the debarment period, Joycot General Contractors will only regain eligibility to participate in African Development Bank Group-financed activities once it implements an integrity compliance program that aligns with the Bank’s guidelines. This compliance program is intended to ensure that the company upholds the highest ethical standards in its future endeavours.
