Read MoreThe firm, registered on February 14, 2020, was awarded contracts worth Sh1,030,000,000 in May 2020 to supply 100,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) and 100,000 KN95 masks. The firm also supplied PPE to Bennets Ventures, Edumart Enterprises and Trade Shop, which in turn supplied to Kemsa at a profit. MP Hassan Omar (Mandera East) suspected that the firm was enlisted purposely to benefit from the Kemsa billions considering how the deal was fast-tracked. Correspondences between the firm and Kemsa chief officer were responded to within a span of a day, leading to the award of the tender. It is shocking that the only document you have for this kind of contract is a commitment letter by Kemsa,” said Omar.
