I was looking up our own Davy Koech to see what he was saying on Covid-19.  It turns out he could not avoid the much more potent Kenyan virus of embezzlement.   

Former Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) Director Davy Koech has been arraigned in court over alleged fraudulent acquisition of Sh19.3 million.
Yesterday, Dr Koech pleaded not guilty to abuse of office and fraudulent acquisition of the parastatal’s property.

Icpe too was looted to bare bones by Kenyans

Look like nobody has been able to fill Davy Koech shoes at KEMRI. Kemri should be our CDC. But its fallen out of glory.

Is it a Kenyan greed thing or our intellectual/subject experts poorly remunerated?  For such rare minds/brain 19 million transgressions should be easily forgiven/overlooked.

Koech was a thug from get go. Kalenjins are thieves very few of their elites have any conscience. During moi the pillaged all institutions they smeared they stupid mursik on

[Kadudu]

I still remember when he and arap Moi announced the discovery of a HIV healing drug. Most experts laughed at the idea, but I escused Moi as he did not know any better on the professional process of introducing any new findings in science. Koech knew better, but still played ball. We all know the end of this scam and the guy proved to be just a con like his said discoveries. Even the self declared prophet is a better conman.
The ethnic nature of our country makes us not have the best people in the right positions. Am not even sure that Koech was the best scientist in town, but the department had to be held by a Kale.

Yes KEMRON with Prof Obel was a con job but If you ask anybody now about KEMRI - nobody knows about it. Dr (Prof) Davy Koech did well to raise the profile of KEMRI - and his successors have failled. Right now KEMRI would be leading in this CORONA business - but it absent.So a little charisma and right connections at statehouses & donors won't hurt.

Despite Kemron and corruption - Dr Davy Koech stand tall in medical research in kenya.

I think that was Arthur Obel's schtick.  Davy Koech just happened to be in charge of the institution. 

Obel is now selling a concoction called Iconaire.

Very few things bother him. At 74, he says he has seen and done it all. What thrills him are his 21 choice cars -- picked from the Mercedes Benz, Peugeot and BMW family -- his insatiable obsession with books and Iconaire – the drug he formulated a few years ago and is now using to treat HIV patients.

Koech was the head of KEMRI at that time and he should never have let his surbodinate run such a connish show with no substance to prove. Koech lost the respect he had from Kenyans and his involvment in corruption topped it all. No wonder he disapeared from the limelight. Nobody hears from him today. He is even lucky o be living in a banana republic. He should be serving his time at Kamiti.

There is little room for integrity in corrupt governments. You are appointed by patronage even when a professional. Every fool will laugh at you for not stealing.

Harry rebelled against the Crown - I forget the word for it - abrogated? The Brits might take the occasion to do away with the monarchy.

[Kadudu]

Keep on dreaming. Harry was number in line of succession. What are his chances if becoming king? Second to zero. The Queen is the state in Britain and the State is the Queen.

Pundit and your usual Kalenjin nonsense. Likes of Dr Gikonyo of Karen Hospital are better doctors of international repute. Koech greatness was partly Moi tribalism. KEMRI is not meant to be popular - possibly giving MoH back hand support right now. US CDC is popular due to Hollywood. It is just another research and advisory unit.

You mean abdicate probably.  He was always a rebellious kid.  Wild parties in Vegas with commoners.

Koech is not a doctor. Kemri is research institution. Medical research. Koech helped start it and see it rise...thanks to aligning with Americans. Most of tropical disease research was funded by Europeans but as Americans starting having global ambition - they realized they needed to do more research on tropical disease.

This Corona is a big opportunity for KEMRI...now they need to get funding from waking Bill Gates.

Yes Koech is a scientist and so is Gikonyo. Most specialists are essentially scientists - because you specialize by practice and gathering knowledge. Likes of Arthur Obel lead research at UoN and also work at KNH on diabetes.

You are right KEMRI is research body. Just like CDC which is not leading anything as medical administrators - physicians - take over. Dr Deby Birsk and Tony Fauci - Trump corona crew - are not per se research scientists but physicians aka doctors.

I think research bodies cannot handle emergency such as corona nor are they meant to. You research stuff with DATA - which brand new diseases won't have. HIV was 10 year old by the time Pearl Omega or Kemron came about. CDC or KEMRI research, prepare and advise on prevention and control of pandemics but running the show is for medical admins in GoK.

Perhaps you mean KEMRI should be visible in the headlines and press conferences. But I think not. PR and spin need to be run by Kagwes who Kemri brief behind the scenes.

New Disease. Research. KEMRI. This is not an accident scene. This is where we need expert. The Flu center is at KEMRI. But all briefing is at Mbagathi. KEMRI need to be leading this...trying to find solutions..even miti shamba like KEMRON. Beyond the lockdown is the search for a vaccine and cure. KEMRI should be leading this...
