Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has said he will not take responsibility for criminality involved in drafting the initial report on organ transplants, stating that he has already suspended the officers responsible in order to facilitate a transparent process.

Duale was expected to present a report on the inquiry into alleged malpractice and ethical breaches in kidney transplant services at Mediheal Group of Hospitals to the National Assembly Health Committee yesterday, but he said he currently has no report, and has since constituted a new team to look into the matter.
