Health Principal Secretary Susan Mochache is on the spot over a suspect letter she wrote directing the embattled Kenya Medical Supplies Authority to procure Covid-19 supplies from specific firms. Through the letter, which Kemsa officials termed as unusual, Mochache authorised the procurement of goods worth Sh758.7 million. “Disregard all other requests made in relation to Covid as they may have been captured under this approval,” reads the letter tabled before the Health committee. On Thursday, Kemsa procurement officer Edward Ndungu told the committee chaired by Muranga Woman Representative Sabina Chege that the PS's order was "abnormal." On Thursday, the committee questioned Mochache in light of the revelations in her letter to Kemsa.
