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.

A close ally of President Uhuru Kenyatta now admits that Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata was right about the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) fortunes in Mt Kenya region.
In a surprise move, Jubilee Vice Chairman David Murathe said although he disagreed with Kang’ata’s mode of delivering his message, what he (Kang’ata) said regarding the situation on the ground was the truth.
Murathe strongly defended Kang’ata over his warning about BBI fortunes in Mt Kenya, saying it served as a wake-up call “for those concerned”.
