Nairobi and Homa Bay counties are leading with the highest debts owed to the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA).
KEMSA Chief Executive Officer Dr. Andrew Mulwa said in total, eight counties are yet to settle outstanding debts for medical commodities supplied and have already exceeded the 45-day credit period specified by the authority.
"We are actively engaging these counties to pay," Dr Mulwa told Editors at a retreat in Mombasa on Thursday. KEMSA had a COVID-19 stock valued at Sh5.45 billion. However, in August 2021, the Ministry of Health authorized the sale of commodities worth Sh5.24 billion at a market price of Sh3.2 billion, resulting in a loss of Sh2.04 billion.

- A Cleaner and Faster Way to Beat Kenya's TrafficTransportation is a major contributor to climate change, accounting for one-fifth of global carbon dioxide emissions, with three-quarters of this coming from road transport. eWAKA, a platform dedicated to serving commuter and commercial electric micro-mobility fleets, believes that electric cargo bikes are the best way to reduce carbon emissions in cities like Nairobi. They believe that electric micromobility is the key to reducing traffic congestion, air pollution, and noise pollution, writes allAfrica's Melody Chironda. Electric vehicles (EVs) are a vital part of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, but how much they can help depends on how clean the electricity grid is. EVs are essential for meeting global climate goals and are featured prominently in emissions reduction plans that limit warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius or 1.5 degrees Celsius, as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
