Kenyans on social media have expressed outrage over reports
that President Uhuru Kenyatta's family members were involved in the Sh5 billion
Health ministry scandal.
It has emerged that a company associated with the
President's sister and cousin pocketed questionable payments amounting to more
than Sh200 million.
"The last thing I expected is to hear members of
Uhuru's family involved in shaddy government tenders. It's extremely depressing
especially for the sick," @kibuchimzito tweeted.
@waithash said "[It is] sad that the President's family
members may heve been involved in the Sh5 billion scandal that have [sic]
shaken the health ministry with leaders pushing for the resignation of health
PS Nicholas Muraguri."
@Mwolooto queried: "Did Uhuru know that he was
clearing the jails to create space for his close family members?"
Uhuru's sister Nyokabi Muthama and cousin Kathleen Kihanya
are directors of a company that pocketed Sh41 million in questionable payouts.
They own Sundales International Limited, registered on
September 12, 2013 – five months after Uhuru's election.
