President William Ruto's decision to send home the entire Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) board and the Public Health Principal Secretary over allegations of procurement irregularities sets a precedent in the war against corruption.
The Global Fund accuses Kemsa of bungling a Sh3.7 billion mosquito net deal, citing multiple procurement gaps. As a result of the Fund's decision, millions of poor families are now at risk of contracting malaria.
