Although the cargo that arrived at JKIA on March 24 had 12 positive airway pressure (PAP) kits, none were distributed, according to an official document. The document dated March 25 shows Amref Lab received 384 detection kits and 3000 extraction swabs. Yesterday, Amref boss Githinji Gitahi said they have received over 1,000 kits in several batches which they are still using. Other laboratories such as the Kemri molecular lab for biology in Nairobi and Alupe got 2,304 detection kits and 2,304 extraction kits for manual kits yet both labs are fully automated. Other automated labs in the list didn’t get any supplies as they could not use manual kits.
