Nyokabi Muthama and Kathleen Kihanya
Muthama and Kihanya are the sister and cousin of Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta. In 2016, the Daily Nation reported that the two are directors of a company involved in the Ministry of Health scandal that saw the loss of KES5.2 billion.
the company, Sundales International Limited, is categorised in the ‘Disadvantaged Groups’ of the Public Procurement Oversight Authority’s (PPOA) 2014 roll, allowing it to receive preferential treatment in regard to government tenders.
Kihanya denied the claims that they had received tenders by influence and that they were ready to be investigated.
“We call for relevant investigative bodies to prioritise this investigation, and get to the bottom of it with the urgency required,” Ms Kihanya said.
