About 200 Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) staff who have been ‘working from home’ since 2011 have been ordered to report back to the office in a new plan aimed at reducing wastage at the scandal–hit agency.

Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha said the workers must report back to work on Friday because they have been drawing salaries from the agency for more than two years while ‘sitting idle at home.’
