Hundreds of thousands of condoms, mosquito nets, and TB medications worth $100,000 (£77,000) are said to have vanished from a Kenya Medical Supplies Authority facility (Kemsa).
According to the UN’s Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, they are likely to have been stolen and marketed on the illicit market and to private pharmacists.
It also accuses the agency of vastly inflating drug prices, with certain pharmaceuticals being sold for a hundred times the proper amount.
The government agency has yet to respond to the charges.
Kemsa made news in 2020 with the discovery of fraud in the acquisition of Covid-19 medical supplies.
Tenders totaling $78 million were allegedly provided inequitably to politically connected persons and enterprises.
