The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commissions has summoned Health secretary Dr Cleopa Mailu, his principal secretary Nicholas Muraguri and other senior officials over Sh5 billion expenditure by the ministry. The money — enough to buy 16 state-of-the-art cobalt cancer fighting equipment to add to the only one available at the Kenyatta National Hospital — is suspected to have been stolen in the last financial year or paid to phoney companies, according to a leaked report addressed to the Cabinet secretary, Dr Cleopa Mailu. First reported by the Business Daily, the scandal mimics and overshadows that of the National Youth Service (NYS) where Sh791 million was paid via the manipulation of the Integrated Financial Management System (Ifmis).
