Sarakolok West Transport (SWT) is owned by Eremas Wartoto and was given the contract for the renovation of facilities at the Kerevat National High school in November of 2008.
He was found guilty of misusing K6.4 million of that K7.9 million between January 29, 2009 and January 20, 2010.
Justice George Manuhu sentenced Wartoto to 10 years in prison with hard labor on Friday.
He said Wartoto’s downfall was a mixture of stupidity on his part, lack of due diligence and a lot of illegal help from the Department of National Planning & Monitoring.
