Mombasa Senator Mohammed Faki has distanced himself from the multi-billion-shilling theft of the Covid-19 funds, which has kicked up a storm in the country. “We are being targeted because we are members of the Senate Covid-19 Ad Hoc Committee and we are the people who are investigating the Kemsa issues,” Faki said. Asked about President Uhuru’s statement on the Kemsa saga during his address to the nation on Wednesday, Faki said he should have acted earlier. The allegations of corruption against Kemsa have been in the public domain for a long time. He said the money alleged to have been stolen could have assisted the government in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.
