It’s not my job to fight corruption, CS Mutahi Kagwe tells Kenyans.

Things are getting thicker at Afya house. As Kenyans are clamouring for explanation on how the government has spend Covid-19 billions, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe has said it’s not his work to fight corruption.

In an interview with KTN News on Sunday, September 6, the CS said that it was not his duty to fight corruption cartels, and that his main job was to see to it that Kenyans received quality medical services. He further asked Kenyans to understand the difference of his cabinet roles and the calls for him to crack the whip on corruption in his ministry.

“It is one thing to eliminate corruption, and quite another to ensure the system is moving efficiently. It is not enough to fight corruption. My job is not to fight corruption, my job is to provide healthcare,” he said.
