Counties are in a dilemma on how and where to access Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) even as the country experiences a second peak of Covid-19 cases.

The dilemma has been occasioned by the grounding of PPEs worth Sh6.2 billion at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) under investigations by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission following alleged procurement irregularities of the items.
