Did Ventilators donated by World Bank go missing at KEMSA? – Here is the painful truth

Thursday, December 31, 2020 – Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) has reacted to a story in one of the local dailies that claimed ventilators donated by the World Bank have mysteriously disappeared.

The local daily reported on Wednesday that the state-run firm was unable to trace the ventilators donated four months ago.

But in a statement, KEMSA said the two ventilators were collected from its Embakasi Supply Chain Centre on December 22 by the Migori county chief officer for health Dr. Dalmas Oyugi.

“Kemsa received the distribution list of the ventilators from Afya House on November 19 and released the two ventilators to Migori County as per the distribution list,” the agency said.

“Early this year, Migori County also received two Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines as part of government donations. We wish to assure the residents of Migori of our commitment to supply health products and technologies that are of high quality, safe and cost-effective.”

RUTO in shock as churches in Rift Valley ban him from the pulpit and reject his Harambees – Keep the blood money to yourself

Sunday, February 28, 2021  – Deputy President William Ruto will have to find another avenue to dump his ‘loot’ after churches in Rift Valley banned him from conducting harambees in churches. In a statement, the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) North Rift region banned politics and fundraising activities in churches until further notice. This follows the NCCK meeting held in Eldoret at the weekend which recommended that politicians will never be allowed to address the church unless it’s a special spiritual message to the congregants. The clerics also accused some politicians of using church platforms to attack their enemies whenever they are given a chance to address the congregation. “The regional committee of the NCCK North Rift has assembled here in Eldoret to share some grievances.” “We are very much concerned about the insecurity of the country and from what we have witnessed a few months ago from our leaders, we want to make it clear that we don’t want politi...

See how UHURU duped MCAs to pass BBI without thinking – They should have known better

Sunday, February 21, 2021  – Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) will have to wait longer for President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Ksh4.5 billion car grant promise. This is after the Controller of Budget (COB) Margaret Nyakang’o wrote a letter to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) CEO Anne Gitau and sought to stop the implementation of the car grant before a few fundamental issues were resolved. In the letter, Nyakang’o stated that most counties budgeted for a car loan facility and not a grant. She highlighted that this is implemented through legislation that is enacted to create a revolving fund. But the legislation does not provide for the issuance of a car grant. Further, she stated that most counties had merged the car loan facility into the revolving fund.  “Some counties are operating one mortgage and car loan fund for the staff and members of the county assembly.” “It should be noted that in some counties, the kitty is not fully funded,” Nyakang’o stated. The...
