The investigative Committee on Organ trafficking has been given three months to complete its task and file a comprehensive report on findings.
Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale, while inaugurating the committee on Friday, said the committee will not only investigate allegations of organ trafficking at Mediheal Hospital but also in other health institutions across the country.
Speaking at Afya House, Duale said, "You have been given up to three months for up to July 22, 2025, to complete your investigation and submit a detailed report with a concrete recommendation." He added, "We are not interested in optics or bureaucratic posturing.
We are interested in the truth, transparency, and transformative justice." According to a gazette notice issued by the Ministry on April 23, the committee will comprise 13 members, chaired by Prof Elizabeth Bukusi and supported by a secretariat of three appointees.
