It sounds like the County Government of Nakuru is responding to concerns raised by the Auditor General regarding expired HIV and TB drugs at Nakuru Level Five Hospital. They’re clarifying that the drugs in question were not purchased by the county but were either donated by development partners or received from Kemsa as short-expiry stock.
The county is also emphasizing that expired drugs cannot be disposed of immediately due to required audit and disposal procedures. However, the Auditor General’s report highlights gaps in preventing the stocking of expired drugs, raising accountability concerns. This back-and-forth suggests a need for better inventory management and communication between stakeholders to avoid similar issues in the future.
