Lawmakers have accused Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe of frustrating their efforts to complete the probe on the Sh7.8 billion Kemsa scandal. Members of the committee, chaired by Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir, on Thursday protested they have three times invited Kagwe to appear before them in vain. PS Mochache, whom the CS sent to appear before the committee, said Kagwe was away on official duty outside Nairobi. The Cabinet in November last year asked the Health ministry to liaise with investigative agencies to okay their quest. The committee was told that Kemsa before the EACC froze procurement, had managed to sell goods worth Sh1 billion.
