Authorities tight-lipped over theft of medical equipmentBy ANGELA OKETCH By BRIAN WASUNA 22 June 2020
Senior public officials could be behind
two brazen attempts to steal donated medical equipment,
one of which was successful, even as government bureaucrats dealing with investigations evade questions on the incident that could shut the door on future philanthropic acts towards Kenya.
The incident has become the shame that nobody wants to talk about, as senior government bureaucrats aware of the progress in the investigations are reluctant to comment.
The loud silence is also an indication that there could be instructions to keep silent on the scandal.
No government official contacted by the Nation in the last six days is ready to go on the record, as our calls, text messages and requests for interviews have largely gone unanswered.
The
successful theft involved equipment donated by Alibaba Group founder and billionaire businessman Jack Ma,
while the thwarted attempt saved a consignment from the Chinese government.
A local daily last week detailed how detectives
stopped an attempt by two local logistics companies from stealing China’s donation in collusion with the Ministry of Health officials.
Two public officers have since confirmed to the Nation that senior government officials were involved in
both attempts, and hinted that investigations will likely remain a closely guarded secret.

The title is confusing because aren't authorities the thieves in this case?
Truth forever on the scaffold
Wrong forever on the throne
