The Kenya Medical Supplies Agency has appealed to counties to pay debts amounting to Sh2.8 billion.

Speaking while delivering drugs worth Sh65 million to Nyeri County Thursday, Kemsa Finance Director Waiganjo Karanja said the debts were straining the agency's ability to deliver supplies, even to counties that had paid up.
