The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media
platforms spanning newspaper print
operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a
leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key influence in matters of national
and international interest.
In what is seen as a bid to appease donor agencies, the government has moved to overhaul the board of the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) which had been hit by multiple scandals in the recent past.
President Uhuru Kenyatta revoked its entire board including the chair, Kembi Gitura, who was replaced by Mary Chao Mwadime.
In an exclusive interview with The Standard, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the appointed members will bring a wealth of experience in various aspects that will make Kemsa a more transparent and efficient supplier of health products and commodities.
