As Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) scandal heats up, several emails have reportedly leaked from the Ministry of Health offices. A report by Daily Nation on Sunday, August 30, indicated that Health CS Mutahi Kagwe and his PS Susan Mochache have been fighting back claims that they were involved in the scandal. The publication reported that the alleged emails appeared to absolve the PS of any blame even though suspended KEMSA CEO Jonah Manjari directly linked the CS and PS to the scandal. KEMSA CEO Manjari and Chairman Kembi Gitura admitted to Senators on Friday August, 28 that CS Kagwe and his PS Mochache had influenced its operations. Since the allegations, National Assembly Health Committee has summoned Mochache to answer to the procurement claims even as leaders increasingly demand that CS Kagwe steps down over the scandal.
