Jubilee Vice-Chairman David, Murathe admitted that he played a role in helping a firm secure Ksh4 billion tender in the multi-billion Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) scandal.
Murathe - in a sworn affidavit written to the MPs investigating the case - said that he was a signatory to Kilig Limited's bank accounts. Kilig, which was alleged to have been formed two months prior to the tender process, sub-contracted another firm called Entec Technology Limited to supply Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs).
"Kilig Ltd and Entec only requested me to be a signatory to Kilig Limited bank accounts to guarantee that Entec as the supplier of PPE kits would be paid upon KEMSA affecting the anticipated payment on completion of the procurement process and I obliged.
