Seven Kenyans Arrested for Stealing and Illegally Administering COVID-19 Vaccines
Police are holding seven people for allegedly stealing COVID-19 vaccines and engaging in illegal vaccination.
Health Principal Secretary Susan Mochache said the seven suspects, who include a doctor, were arrested over an incident where some politicians in Murang’a colluded with health workers to steal and illegally administer COVID-19 jabs in a health camp, contrary to laid down procedures.
“DCI is still on the lookout for the principal persons who took part in the illegal act,” Mochache said.
Mochache urged Kenyans to be vigilant and report any illegal vaccination activities to the Health Ministry through hotline number 719.
She spoke on Thursday at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) where she received 450,000 COVID-19 vaccines donated to Kenya by the Canadian government.
The official expressed confidence that the government will achieve its target of inoculating 10 million Kenyans by December this year.
Kenya is expected to receive the first consignment of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine on Friday.

All the COVID 19 meds are in Ruto in Sugoi clinic! Please check it there because we need it badly!
Surely DP Ruto must be behind this theft! It is all about making himself money at the expense of ordinary Kenyans (those kubafu wheelbarrow poisoned mentality teenagers) who care nothing about Kenya! I now believe what Ruto said that he is on a mission to destroy Kenya and the Kenyans he calls hustlers!
This is what we were expecting.
Most folks commented on it.
More to be be looted.
