David Murathe Threatens to Expose Individuals Behind Sh7.8 Billion Kemsa Scandal

Jubilee Party vice-chairperson David Murathe has threatened to expose the individuals behind the Sh7.8 billion scandal at Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (Kemsa).
Speaking during an interview with The Standard, Murathe said he will appear before the National Assembly Public Investment Committee (PIC) next week to shed light on his alleged role in the scam.
Murathe, a close ally of President Kenyatta, has been linked to Kilig Limited, a company that allegedly bagged a Sh4 billion contract for the supply of COVID-19 personal protection equipment (PPE) to Kemsa.
"I will be going to the committee on Thursday. I asked to appear in person to shed light on this matter but I was instructed to do an affidavit which is self-explanatory,” said Murathe.
He added: "I am not a beneficiary, owner, director, or shareholder at the company. I was just loaning the managers who are known to me."
PIC, which is investigating the scandal, had summoned Murathe alongside former Kilig Limited director Wilibroad Gachoka for grilling.
Murathe termed the dragging of his name into the scandal as pure politics, adding that Kenyans will be shocked when the real perpetrators of the scam are exposed.
"What is this farce with me. I am not a signatory. This is just politics and they are making it a big deal yet the contract was canceled. There was no procurement, delivery, or invoice raised. This committee is supposed to protect the public interest in the event goods and services are overpriced or supply air," he added.

Only in a banana republic -is this even possible: Murathe confesses that he knows the people involved in the Sh7.8 billion COVID-19 money scandal and says that if you piss him off he will expose all the criminals involved. Yet, he is at the center of this criminal enterprise-"I was just loaning money to the manager's who are known (friends) to me" It is hard to believe that Murathe- Wilibroad Gachoka et-al are not in jail being squeezed for everything they know or for their role in the scum.

Murathe according to our culture and traditions, you should be a role model for our children. You should be guiding, advising and helping our young men establish themselves.
You are so engulfed in the culture of corruption that you are running out of valuable time.
Take some time and analyze life.

Those illegally taking from Kenyans are thieves! Murathe can easily do us a favor by naming the thieves on live TV so that they can all be prosecuted.
But he stopped short of naming the thieves that have regularly stolen from us. He is giving empty threats to save his skin.
Is Murathe not part and parcel of the cycle of theft problem we seen in Kenya for a long time? Murathe steals, DP Ruto steals, all MPs steal, senators steal, governor steal, and even police steal! When are Kenyans going to rise up and demand responsibility in government?
Please Murathe, name the thieves so we can fight for our money to be returned! Stop playing naming the thieves games with us Murathe! We are tired of thieves; you included!

This man @menye is a seriously angry man! What he is saying is exactly what he plans to do to our leaders.
We as kenyans demand an action to be taken to prosecute this murderous @ menye who has been spreading hate against our leaders and Kenyans.
There is a lot that can be done to stop this rotten mind! Something must seriously be done to make sure others are not mass killed because of one dangerous Lone Ranger! Please act quickly!

Is it just me ... jameni???
Hellooooo ....... How is it possible that someone knows of a huge criminal activity and the characters involved and is close to the presidency and nothing is done about it? Oh I know why and you know as well. If you are thief and you someone else is thiefing you keep quiet because you both have the same yellow feathers. The arrogance and impudent lack of respect towards Kenyans is unfathomable with our "leaders".
If I was Uhuru, I would not let Murathe give any more interviews. The more he talks, the more he exposes the utter reckleness of this gavaa.

We don't have a govt in Kenya. Just thugs who think Kenyans are so stupid. Murathe openly admitting he knows the thieves, he admits to have a share of the loot, and....a deafening silence from those in power. I was for Uhuru, but not sure if I can defend him on this one if truly he cant act, unless of course he is an accessory to the proceeds. I no longer have hope or trust the Kenyan govt. sorry! But who cares?

If you have that much information on criminal activities why not do your civic duty and tell the authority? Majority of all government employees are knee deep in corruption. All politicians are corrupt and getting away with it.
