The bidding was for providing Project Management services to TFL for its new office and data centre project.

It is alleged that as a result, Kaba obtained a financial advantage amounting to over $766,327 between June 2022 and July 2023, knowing that HLK Jacob was not eligible to receive the financial advantage as he had failed to declare his interest as director for HLK Jacob.

He will reappear in court on the 25th of this month.
