In a Kenyan fraud, condoms and mosquito nets go missing.

After hundreds of thousands of condoms, mosquito nets, and tuberculosis medications worth $100,000 (£77,000) vanished from its warehouse, the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) is once again in the spotlight.

According to the Global Fund, the missing drugs were stolen and resold on the underground market and to private pharmacies.

The fund also accuses Kemsa of exaggerating the value of pharmaceuticals by millions of dollars, claiming that some drugs were overvalued by 100 times.

The federal agency has yet to respond to the charges.

Kenya's fight against HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria is funded by the Global Fund.

After allegations of fraud regarding the procurement of Covid-19 medical supplies, Kemsa made news in 2020.

Tenders worth $78 million were allegedly handed to politically connected persons and firms on an irregular basis.

As a result, President Uhuru Kenyatta disbanded the board of directors and top management.

The Global Fund, which has given Kenya more than $1.4 million in the last two decades, has suggested that the misplaced drugs be investigated further by Kemsa.
