The Public Investments Committee of the National Assembly has started a probe into allegations of misappropriation of funds at Kemsa. PIC chairman Abdulswamad Nassir (Mvita MP) invoked Standing Order 206 of the National Assembly which mandates PIC to examine the reports and accounts of public investments. “We also want details of all monetary and equipment donations received by the state corporation from international donors for the fight against Covid 19,” PIC chairman Abdulswamad Nassir said. Kemsa board chairman Kembi Gitura told the Health committee the tender documents were with the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). “We commit to provide the tender documents to the committee as soon as we get them back from PPRA.”Edited by Henry Makori
