DCI Busts Fake COVID-19 Certificates Syndicate In Busia
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives have recovered fake COVID-19 certificates following the arrest of 33 years old Edward Okuku Alando and 32 years old Yahya Ismael Sian in Busia County.
Additional items that include a computer and a scanner believed to have been used in running the fake COVID-19 testing center were also recovered and have been retained as exhibits.
The two suspects are in lawful custody awaiting arraignment as search for a third individual namely Mark Ouma, believed to be the Mastermind behind the syndicate continues.
Elsewhere, Health Principal Secretary Susan Mochache is on the spot over a suspect letter she wrote directing embattled Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) to procure COVID-19 supplies from specific firms.
Mochache, whose demotion by President Uhuru Kenyatta was retracted moments after her reshuffle on Wednesday, could now become a person of interest in the Covid-19 funds probe.
On Thursday, the KEMSA board chaired by ex-Murang’a Senator Kembi Gitura appeared to throw Mochache under the bus in the COVID-19 procurement mess.
The board told the National Assembly Health Committee how Mochache wrote to the agency trying to direct how to procure the COVID-19 emergency supplies.
In her letter dated April 15, Mochache specified to KEMSA the items they were to procure, listed specific suppliers they were to source them from, as well as the prices.
