R90m contract 'a conduit' for 'benefit' of ex-Eskom boss Matshela Koko

The Special Investigating Unit is probing claims made by global engineering giant ABB in a written submission that former Eskom boss Matshela Koko instructed it to subcontract work at Kusile power station to a company called Leago, which was, according to the submission, "a conduit for his benefit".
