Afya House, the Ministry of Health's headquarters, is once again at the centre of a brewing supremacy battle stemming from divisions over recent appointments between Cabinet Secretary for Health Deborah Mulongo and Principal Secretary Harry Kimtai.
The latest tension arises from PS Harry Kimtai's decision to appoint former Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) boss Andrew Mulwa to head the National AIDS and STI Control Programme (NASCOP).
This move was subsequently revoked by his boss, Health CS Deborah Mulongo.
Despite the revocation by the CS, PS Kimtai has maintained his decision, insisting that he is the legitimate authorised appointing officer.
