Kenya's 60-day deadline for returning the funds expended on the national malaria programme to the Global Fund expired on Thursday, with no clear indication of the actions taken to address the concerns.
On April 3, the Fund sent a letter to the Ministry of Health highlighting questionable spending of Sh72 million out of a total of Sh184 million, which potentially did not comply with the fund's 2020/2021 grant to the country.
In the letter, Paul McCarrick, the Senior Fund Portfolio Manager at GF, gave the country 60 days to either resolve the amount or refund it to GF's Kenyan account for the grant.
