[Antony Gitonga, Standard]The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) has embarked on reviewing its procurement process and suppliers’ performance. Kemsa has been in the limelight over the manner it procured Covid-19 PPE with allegations that billions of shillings were lost in the process. Already, senior managers have been sent home while traders involved in the procurement of the medical supplies are under investigation. Njoroge said some of the reforms that they were keen on included reviewing their procurement process to be in line with the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015. “We are reviewing suppliers’ performance to measure quality and consistent pricing to eliminate suppliers who fail to comply with performance requirements,” he said.
