Millions of Kenyans are likely to die as a result of low quality medical materials being channeled to the Country’s only research centre called Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) courtesy of high level of bad governance and corruption perpetuated by the institutions top management team led by a perennial political parliamentary looser a Dr.Mwinga Chokwe and the Procurement Officer one Chris Isabwa .
Details of our investigations reveals that that the corruption that got  former Director Davy Koech kicked out of the prestigious institution  have been received full blast courtesy of Chokwe and Isabwa.

However the new scam which we have authoritatively established reveals that the said Isabwa was dismissed from the giant Government Posta Kenya  on the grounds of Gross Misconduct.

A letter in our possession signed by Hellen Ambasa the Acting Corporation Secretary for the Postmaster General  dated 20th January 2012  says that Isabwa was employed as a Manager /Procurement  from 4th January 2005 to 22nd July 2009.

“Following  a forensic Audit Report conducted in 2008, the Board found him culpable and dismissed him from the service on the grounds of Gross Misconduct on 22nd July 2009” reads the letter ref no;DF;3250/SC/C/PMG/PF.23943 signed by Ambasa.

“How he ended up at KEMRI in a key position in the era of the Public Procurement Officers Act law, rules and procedures remains  not only a mystery but flies in the face of the new and still unfolding era of institutional reforms and the war on corruption” lamented one senior key KEMRI official who never wanted his name revealed.

We have evidences of corruption networks in most contracts (construction, renovation and supplies) and are given out to business associates of selected key senior officers.

“These cartels could well end up costing KEMRI more than the kshs 5000 million which disappeared under Dr.Koech” read one audit report in our possession.

As a result trouble is brewing in other sections of Kenya’s premier health care sector institution in a trickle down effect from the graft at the heart of KEMRI’S procurement processes.

A number of individuals have been wrongly dismissed and have hauled both the Director and KEMRI to court in cases that are guaranteed to bring maximum negative publicity to the heavily donor funding dependent institute.

Official documents in our possession paint a picture of rampant irregularities as audited by key leading Kenya forensic auditors.
Isabwa is said to be well into his third reincarnation as a dodgy operative at the heart of a high profile department in the government minting millions and oppressing any innocent Kenya professionals who stand in his path.

“Surprisingly this corrupt man who is protected by the Chairman of the Board Dr.Edwin Mwinga rather than reporting to his immediate boss Lina Boit who is KEMRI’S Deputy Director  of Administration and Finance   or Edwin Makori who assists Boit
he is reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer Dr.Solomon
Mpoke why” wondered  one senior official there.

KEMRI is presently heading by Dr.Solomon Mpoke as the Chief Executive Officer  while Dr.Hinga is the Chairman.

Mrs.Ann Wang’ombe is an Assistant Director in charge of Human Resource while Edwin Makori is an Assistant Director Finance and Administration  ,Dr.Elizabeth Bukusi heads Research and Training .

They are appealing to Medical Services Minister Prof.Anyang’Nyong’o and other stakeholders to urgently come in and intervene in regard to the corrupt practices there.
