The firm, registered on February 14, 2020, was awarded contracts worth Sh1,030,000,000 in May 2020 to supply 100,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) and 100,000 KN95 masks.
The firm also supplied PPE to Bennets Ventures, Edumart Enterprises and Trade Shop, which in turn supplied to Kemsa at a profit.
In a previous session, the committee was told by the suspended Kemsa procurement director Charles Juma how they were under pressure from the suspended chief officer Jonah Manjari to draft a commitment letter to the firm amid reports that the document was backdated.

Another week, another millionaire who thinks everyone else is stupid. What began as a motivational ‘your dreams are valid’ story of everyday Kenyans who went to bed broke and woke up tycoons is unravelling as the fiction it is.
Zubeda Nyamlondo, donning red head-gear and a matching facemask, thought she would dazzle everyone with her baloney on Wednesday when she was grilled by Bunge’s Public Investments Committee (PIC).
