What you need to know:

  • The agency on Tuesday advertised a tender for the supply of nearly 100 high tech CCTV cameras.
  • Advertisement comes barely a month after emergence of yet another scandal at the troubled agency.

The Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) plans to install a larger number of surveillance cameras at its main warehouse in Nairobi’s Embakasi area as it reviewed its operations to curb embarrassing theft of stocks.

The agency on Tuesday advertised a tender for the supply of nearly 100 high tech CCTV cameras, in a bid to improve security at its facilities in the wake of an incident where drugs, condoms and other products worth millions of shillings disappeared from the depot.
