The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) says that only the government drugs supplier can account for the personal protective equipment (PPE) donated by various well-wishers, including Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, to fight the Covid-19.

KNH Chief Executive Evanson Kamuri, while appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly over a special audit on the utilisation of the Covid funds by the government, said that KNH received the PPE just like any other hospital.
