Jubilee vice-chairman David Murathe has said he was a bank guarantor for a firm implicated in the Sh7.8 billion Kemsa scandal. In an affidavit submitted to the Public Investments Committee, the politician said he guaranteed Kilig Ltd. Murathe had previously denied association with the firm. Kilig was awarded a Sh4 billion tender to supply 450,000 personal protective equipment to Kemsa. I partner with him on a lot of issues but I have not partnered with him on this one (Kemsa tender),” he said. Jinping resigned a few days after Kemsa awarded Kilig the tender.
