NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 29 – The Kenyatta University Teaching and Referral Hospital (KUTRH) Board has suspended Chief Executive Officer Ahmed Dagane over allegations of irregularly awarding a Sh287 million insurance tender.
In a letter dated November 28, Board Chair Olive Mugenda appointed Isaac Kamau, the Director of Operations, as acting CEO, with appropriate allowances.
The board has requested the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) to investigate Dagane for allegedly violating procurement and public finance regulations.
The suspension follows increased scrutiny of public institutions over suspected kickbacks in insurance tender awards, including a recent Kenya Maritime Authority scandal.
