Is Mutahi Kagwe A Victim Of Corruption Fight Back?
Fighting corruption in Kenya, as in any other country, is no child play. Indeed, former Nigerian minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala details just how risky fighting graft can get in her book Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines.
Ngozi was one of the fiercest female public servants to have served in Nigeria. The Yoruba had branded her *kiniun wa zaki*, to loosely mean *“lion of anti-corruption”*. On November 27, 2014, Ngozi held a press conference outside her office and revealed that her office was being used to run corrupt deals by fraudulent oil marketers. That press-conference permanently changed her perception about the war against corruption. Later that evening, police imposters raided her home and stole valuables before burning her house and killing pets. She later learnt the attacks were linked to her being vocal on corruption in President Goodluck Jonathan’s government.
This is the situation that Health CS Mutahi Kagwe has found himself in today. Corruption is fighting back relentlessly. The KEMSA scandal is more than we are shown on TV and in the fullness of time, the truth will prevail. The real culprits who want to draw maximum political capital out of it be unmasked. Indeed, some have started making self-incriminating remarks.
At the weekend, Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa, in a popular TV show dubbed Kiririmbi confirmed that he had attempted to supply PPEs to KEMSA. He even recounted how he imported the N95 masks in bulk from China at a cost of 400 a piece, perhaps expecting that Kagwe would handpick him to supply the PPEs. This MP is the same person who has been shouting at the top of his voice how there was corruption in procurement and payments in KEMSA. Why should we believe him while it could be a case of sour grapes? Who was Ichung’wa speaking for? We all know who he pledges his loyalty to. Maybe he had imported the kits on Ruto’s orders, now that even the DP is so restless over the same subject. Who knows?
Mutahi had pointed out that he was aware that Afya House had been captured by cartels and declared he would fight them. The same cartels could be the ones using politicians to spread malicious rumors to cast doubts on his integrity and that of the President. If money was stolen, why is TangaTanga and their sympathizers against an audit? Could this be a ploy to hide the truth from Kenyans? What’s more, the president has directed investigations into the theft claims. Why is Ruto and his puppets still whining?
As law-abiding Kenyans, it is only proper that we patiently wait for investigations outcome.
