There was drama at the National Aids and STI Control Program (Nascop) on Monday, after Dr Andrew Mulwa, the former Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) acting CEO, stormed the headquarters accompanied by armed security officers.
This came after, Health Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa, revoked the deployment of Dr Mulwa, a Senior Deputy Director of Medical Services, who had been appointed as the head of Nascop in December 2024.
Dr Rose Wafula, the current head of Nascop, was initially redeployed to the Healthy Aging, Palliative Care, and Older Persons Division.
Mulwa's action caused tension and panic among employees. "Everyone at the office is confused after witnessing security officers armed with guns move to offices," said a witness. "The office environment feels unsafe because we do not know what to expect.
