Endebess Member of Parliament who is also a member of the Committee Robert Pokose, said Nyamai has been shielding health officials who appear before the Committee for questioning.

He said members have agreed to elect someone-else to replace the Kitui South MP, so as investigations into the scam can be done in a fair manner.

According to Pokose, the Nyamai prevented him from asking relevant questions during a committee visit to Mombasa to inspect 99 portable clinics that were supplied to the Ministry at a cost of Sh1 billion, each costing Sh10 billion.

Health Committee is investigating the scam and has so far grilled top Ministry officials.
