Mr Murathe is required to appear before the Public Investments Committee (PIC) of the National Assembly to clarify his position in the Kemsa supplies, in which Kilig Limited, a company linked to him, was awarded a Sh4 billion tender to supply personal protective equipment (PPE).
“Kilig Limited and Entec technology only requested me to be a signatory to its bank account to guarantee that Entec technology Ltd as the supplier of PPE kits would be paid upon Kemsa effecting the anticipated payment on completion of the procurement process and I obliged,” Mr Murathe said in his affidavit.
“This is total ridicule to the committee. Sh4 billion of Kenyan money is not just money for tea. Mr Murathe used his closeness to the executive to influence tender worth Sh4 billion because the Chinese do not know Kenya or Kemsa,” Wajir East Rashid Aminsaid.
“If his role was to ensure that payment is done to Entec as he has admitted in the affidavit, then it is clear his role was to influence the payment to Kilig, then these are the people we need before us, people who influenced payment at Kemsa,” Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang’ said
