No report on corona deal probe as Uhuru’s ultimatum ends

President Uhuru Kenyatta's 21-day ultimatum to the anti-graft agency to unmask faces behind the alleged fraudulent purchase of Covid-19 medical equipment elapsed on Wednesday with no word on the status of the investigations.

On August 27, President Kenyatta gave the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) a deadline to complete a probe into a scandal where individuals connected to the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) are said to have pocketed millions of shillings in suspect medical supply deals.
