A probe into the circumstances under which Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) lost billions of shillings at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic was called off on Tuesday after some agencies failed to turn up for the hearing before a parliamentary committee.

This happened after the National Assembly Committee on Implementation chaired by Budalangi MP Raphael Wanjala adjourned the sitting on Tuesday after top Government officials failed to show up at the scheduled meeting.
