The UN-backed @GlobalFund has revealed fresh rot at @Kemsa_Kenya after it found out that 908,000 mosquito nets, 1.1M condoms and tuberculosis drugs worth Sh10M had disappeared from its warehouse. - @BD_Africa
.@GlobalFund, which finances the fight against HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria, has also raised the red flag over suspected fake suppliers demanding Sh1.66B from Kemsa.
The lost medicines are believed to have been stolen and resold on the black market and to private chemists, shining a spotlight once again on @Kemsa_Kenya over its graft record.

BBI is the biggest political hoodwink ever. With horrific constitutional ramifications. Only one family will benefit. Bigly.

2. The #BBI hoodwink says the WaKenya have overwhelmingly cheered in support of the mutilation of the COK. That Legislators are humbly heeding the call of their electorate.

Not true 👇🏾

By June 2020, @kenyapower owed

-Sh23.7B to @KenGenKenya
-Sh19.48B to IPPs
-Sh4.67B to @KETRACO1

The electricity sector is a hotbed of theft. MES & #Covid19Millionaires look tame by comparison.

WaKenya could lose up to Sh6T!

2. Broadly, @KenyaPower owes Sh65B & anticipates Sh29.5B from consumers & the govt.

Q. How does a de facto monopoly FAIL to be profitable?

A.The trinity of generation+transmission+distribution/sale
is for the profit of a select, politically connected group.

#SwitchOffKPLC
3. Tariffs - under the corrupt & watchful eye of @EPRA_Ke - will remain high because parastatals & IPPs are OVERSUPPLYING electricity .

We pay for UNUSED electricity through rigged Power Purchase Agreements & yet more bleeding via the happily corrupt @KETRACO1.

Know that while you defend Mama Ngina's honour, she will always be able to afford private health care. Not your mother.

The 345pger is a white-collar-meets-murder crime scene. @MOH_Kenya @IKMAdvocates @generalelectric @Philips @AGOfficeKenya @Kenyajudiciary @KeTreasury

Eish!
2. Circa 2013-14, @MOH_Kenya envisioned a 7-10yr Public Private Partnership (PPP) to equip 94 Level 4 & 5 hospitals across 47 counties. This was approved on 22 Jan, 2014.

The PPP was ditched by June 2014 & an international Open Tender MOH/001/2014/2015 was launched.

#MAFyaHouse
3. As bids were submitted, the PPP under the Public Private Partnership Act, 2013 morphed into a Managed Equipment Service (MES) under the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005 (repealed), now the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, 2015. No justification.

The #Covid19Millionaires gravy train allegedly runs this way:

1. Pres. Uhuru Kenyatta & relatives
2. Murathe, Megascope & that motley crew
3. Governors & "their people"

These quick-to-absolve-myself-and-my-party are premature. What about their Governors & Legislators?

(thread)
2. Even as @USAID @GlobalFund threaten to withdraw / procure directly, they know that for 6yrs, they funded KEMSA to the tune of Sh23B p.a. @Deloitte won the contract from Supply Chain Management System (VA) to clean up the mess.

KEMSA is back in the hole.

#Covid19Millionaires
3. Same playbook @KenyaPower when Manitoba Hydro Mgmt spent $154M to clean up KPLC post-Gichuru.

The now PS Njoroge (UK's fundraiser) @EnergyMinK was thereafter appointed CEO; & theft resumed.

KPLC is back in the hole. We're paying for it.

This is why the concept of a revolution in Kenya is a very fragile thing when it comes to #Covid19Millionaires and #EnoughIsEnough

(These thoughts are a compilation from a close friend of mine, Wesley Kanyeria.)

(THREAD)
The idea of a revolution is where a current ruling party is over thrown by the oppressed party. Or where the current ruling class is over thrown by the oppressed under class.
Revolutions aren't all rainbows and roses, there is no marching to State House, holding arms singing freedom songs and Kumbaya while the leader there politely steps down to let a more fit individual take over. Revolutions are bloody and gruesome and horrible.

That #Covid19Millionaires report is what @RookieKE calls mshangao reporting. I don't think we are helped by being told about the size and immorality of corruption. All we do is feel helpless, especially when the people in charge are saying the cartels are big but wont name them.
If theft is so deeply embedded in the Kenyan state, and international bodies like @WorldBank @EUinKenya are sending more money knowing it will be swindled anyway, but we Kenyans will pay back the money with interest, then we have to ask ourselves: "what is Kenya for?"
To call ourselves citizens is a contradiction. Kenyans are enslaved people. Our role is to provide labor and resources for international rackets between the corrupt US and UK governments and corporations and their Kenyan puppets.

Dear Kenyans,
#Covid19Millionaires is a mirror image of the 2008 #MaizeScam. In both cases, politicians from across the political divide hatched a scheme to profit from a national crisis. In 2008, they had the cover of the Grand Coalition. Today they are covered by the Handshake.
In case you are unfamiliar with the 2008 scam, here is a refresher. gathara.blogspot.com/2010/03/let-th…
As I have said severally, Kenyans should be afraid whenever politicians come together for the sake of "national unity". Inevitably, such "handshakes" raise the curtain on the eating season. And Kenyans are always the main course.

I remember asking @MOH_Kenya about PPEs during their initial pressers. Many times they said they were in high seas, or being distributed, or we are working on it and other short stories. #Covid19Millionaires now unveils the pains I had trying to find out what was happening.
My colleague @WesangulaD and I tracked the #Covid19Millionaires funds from the moment World Bank confirmed the loan funds...#Covid19Millionaires Image
And then we tracked stories of those in isolation and quarantine and the stress and drama around it....@SpiceFMKE #SituationRoom discussed this...@WesangulaD #Covid19Millionaires

I urge everyone in India to read this. This person @drbrcofficial is not only a quack, but also toxic to public health. He makes other quacks look like a picnic lunch basket. His activities terrorise science, rational thinking and endanger #PublicHealth
