Ruto has also appointed suspended Kenya Medical Supplies Authority CEO Terry Ramadhani as the Deputy Ambassador to New Delhi, India.

Ramadhani is among the 14 deputy ambassadors appointed on Wednesday.

She was suspended on May 15, 2013, by Health Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha alongside other staff members serving within the Ministry of Health.

This was after complaints of alleged impropriety within Kemsa in its management and administration. 

The CEO was implicated in the mosquito net deal that was marred with allegations of irregularities in the tendering process.

The Global Fund had given Kemsa the deal which could see it earn Sh370 million in revenue through warehousing and transport logistics.

It however cancelled it citing irregularities in the procurement process.

The procurement process initiated by Kemsa saw the tender awarded to Shobikaa Impex and Partec East Africa Ltd. 

Ruto in an interview said he had been briefed on the matter and would take action.
