A tender row is
brewing at Bungoma County Hospital over what a section of staff term as rampant
impunity and corruption. At the centre of the storm is hospital medical
superintended Cleophas Okubasu who is accused of unprocedurally awarding tender
to four business firms to supply detergents to the hospital.
The four firms,
Khetia, Ronak, Yakomart and Elgon hospitals is alleged that they were awarded
tenders which will cost taxpayers Sh38million but experts argue that the
detergents can hardly cost the facility Sh25millon.
Staff revealed that
the process to award the tenders did not meet procedure as stipulated by the
government tendering committee . “In some instances the lowest bidders
were left out of the tendering process, an issue we term as wrong,” said a
worker.
Bungoma residents led by activist Philip Wekesa have given the
government an ultimatum of two weeks to transfer him or stage a demo to get him
out of the office.
