A few weeks ago, Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe publicly declared that his ministry is infested with lords of corruption and made a commitment to rein in on them.

It never reached the Health ministry and never benefited Kenyans.

Ministry officials working in cahoots with some crooks carted away the donations from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

It is incredible but demonstrates the level of rot and impunity at the ministry and in the country.

Worse, the scandal comes at a time when the Health ministry is under the spotlight for several indiscretions among them the pilferage of a Sh1.3 billion World Bank donation that was also earmarked for fighting coronavirus.
