Estama Investments, the shadowy company at the centre of the controversial importation of 100 container clinics, spent Sh1.4 million to buy and import each unit that were then sold to the government at Sh10 million, official documents show.

Information contained in Estama’s filings with the Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) digital platform, Simba, shows that the containers were bought in China, transported to Kenya and allegedly delivered to Nairobi at a cost of Sh1,461,388 – meaning the supplier pocketed Sh8.5 million for each unit sold to the government.
