Transport Chief Administrative Secretary Chris Obure on Wednesday uncovered that 21 COVID-19 equipment bundles gave to the nation by the Jack Ma Foundation in March are absent.
Obure, talking before the National Assembly wellbeing board of trustees, said the bundles never showed up in the nation from Ethiopia where Jack Ma gifts for the area were sent before being circulated to different nations.
The CAS expressed that the transfer was not in the Ethiopian Airlines flight that conveyed different bundles, including that the service is ignorant of their whereabouts to date.
He likewise expressed that the Ministry of Health has since kept in touch with Ethiopia and the Jack Ma Foundation trying to know the whereabouts of the 21 bundles, wanting to recuperate the items.
Obure’s disclosure comes following reports that a portion of the Jack Ma Foundation gifts were commandeered and sold by senior government authorities; a case that has intensely been denied by Health CS Mutahi Kagwe.
The vehicle service anyway separated itself from the gifts adventure and demanded that its job was exclusively clearing and sending of the equipment to the Ministry of Health through the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).
Obure, who was speaking to Transport Cabinet Secretary James Macharia, said they got the bundles in three phases with the primary transfer showing up on March 24 and being sent to KEMSA around the same time.
He said the subsequent transfer showed up on April 15 and was moved to KEMSA around the same time while the third and last transfer showed up on May 22 and was delivered three days after the fact.
