A recent audit by the fund alleged that around 1.1-million condoms, 908,000 mosquito nets and tuberculosis drugs worth $91,000 were stolen from the state-run Kenya Medical Supplies Agency and resold on the black market to private pharmacies.
The report, released on March 11, accuses KEMSA of drastically inflating the value of medicines to the tune of $5.6 million, including overstating the price of expired drugs up to 100 times the actual cost. A probe is now underway, the UN-backed body said, telling AFP late Wednesday that:"The Office of the Inspector General does not comment on any ongoing investigations until they are finalised and published."
"Administrative action has already been taken and continues to be taken for those involved," KEMSA said, promising further action against"specific individuals on a case by case basis."In 2020, it was at the centre of a corruption scandal after government officials and businessmen allegedly pilfered $400 million in public money earmarked for medical equipment needed in the fight against Covid-19.
Yeah that's the nature of Africans.. Typical
