MPs investigating the purchase of the Sh.7.8 billion Covid-19-related materials by Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) are reading mischief in claims of errors in an audit on some of the payments.

An Auditor General’s special report had indicated that Shop N Buy Company received Sh970 million while Nanopay was paid Sh340 million.
