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.

Murathe claimed that Rachel had an association with some of the companies that were contracted in lucrative tenders at the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (Kemsa) in 2020. The first five top companies that supplied KEMSA with equipment are associated with the deputy president, his wife and the 970. They know who they are, we have records and we will be tabling them soon.
That is why the KEMSA story died. The people they were looking for discovered we have nothing to do with it. I have never supplied a single mask to Kemsa.,: Murathe stated during a heated interview where he faced off with Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen.
