Ministry of Health affiliated state corporation has become the model of state corruption.
According to the sources, the boss of the state corporation has been collecting Sh 5 Million every week from every client through a proxy cartel for pushing COVID-19 tenders in the ministry.
The proxy cartel gets more influence from the senior ministry of health officials in getting approvals from the entity.
Senior officials from the Ministry are said to be buying properties abroad according to the Star digital sources.
” The cartel said they are buying properties abroad. The main reason is anytime a corruption bomb blasts in the ministry, they relocate to those countries, ” star digital sources claimed.
The cartel’s boss, who hails from Nyanza, operates with impunity and has been making some approvals without due certification processes.
Members of the public who have fallen prey to this cartel are appealing to Health CS Mutahi Kagwe to disband the agency’s board and invite EACC and DCI to his ministry to conduct lifestyle audits of the agency’s top directors and ministry senior officials.
