Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Reports that Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has ordered investigations into two of his ministers over the rental of state-owned homes have caught the attention of some in Kenya.<\/p>\n

Lee said the probe whose results will be made public would establish whether “proper process” was followed in the rental of the colonial-era bungalows and if there was wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

“This must be done to ensure that this government maintains the highest standards of integrity,” Lee said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Former Mukurweini MP Kabando wa Kabando said the development may interest President William Ruto, seemingly in light of revelations that a family member of a senior government official was involved in the latest Sh3.7 billion tender scandal at the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority.<\/p>\n

“This may interest Kenya’s President William Ruto. It may as well reawaken EACC Kenya on hitherto elusive lifestyle audits for public officers,” Kabando said in a statement on Twitter.<\/p>\n

The Kemsa scandal has already claimed several casualties.<\/p>\n

Ruto fired Public Health Principal Secretary Josphine Mburu, sent home the entire Kemsa board and suspended the agency\u2019s chief executive officer Terry Ramadhani over the mosquito net scandal.<\/p>\n

The move sent shivers down the spines of senior government officials but the Opposition has insisted that the buck stops with Cabinet secretaries who bear the biggest responsibilities in ministries.<\/p>\n

During a Cabinet meeting on May 16, an enraged Ruto fired a warning shot and cautioned CSs saying looting of public funds will not occur on his watch.<\/p>\n

In reference to the move taken by the Singapore premier, Kabando wondered whether or not Ruto would take the cue and crack the whip against wayward members of his Cabinet.<\/p>\n

“But with so many of those in Ruto’s palace embroiled in scandals, others “cleared”, hope for bold action highly unlikely, Or will they? he asked.<\/p>\n

Almost immediately after Ruto ascended to power in September 2022, the Courts started clearing a number of senior politicians allied to him who were battling criminal and graft cases.<\/p>\n

Among the notable cases was that against Aisha Jumwa who now serves in Ruto’s government as Gender CS.<\/p>\n
