Richard Ngatia, the short thief that heads the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) is vying to become the Nairobi Governor after August 2022.
Of all the people vying for this great but emasculated (by NMS) sea, only Tim Wanyonyi appears ‘clean’.
Mr Ngatia, as head of the national business lobby group, has used his influence to aid the killing of Kenyans through shady deals.
The KNCCI president’s name appears on all lists of KEMSA scandal masterminds.
When Chinese Billionaire Jack Ma sent donations to Kenya to fight, then Novel Covid-19, it is Ngatia’s Megascope that was mentioned in the scandal that looted nearly Sh7 billion.
The NMS contracts to construct hospitals in and around Nairobi was also skewed and given to Megascope.
NMS is an illegal outfit and Ngatia at the helm of Nairobi would make it worse than it is.
The cartel at the Health ministry.
The rise of Ngatia, as aforementioned came about after the most corrupt regime ever in Kenya, came to power.
His visibility in the ranks appeared more after the MES – Managed Equipment Services Project where Kenyans lose over Sh5 billion yearly.
Like a shark that has tasted blood, Ngatia has been on the hunt and bagged all the lucrative tenders at the Ministry of Health.
He has become so powerful that at one point, when a new Cabinet Secretary in the name of Mutahi Kagwe took over and tried to ‘clean’ up the rotten corridors of the ministry, junior officer had the guts to tell him off.

Kagwe’s attempt to transfer some officers from Afya house hit an iceberg. He would be seen angrily calling out unnamed people at Afya house for being very corrupt.
What Kenyans didn’t know is that the powerful man behind the cartel is none other than Richard Ngatia.
Richard Ngatia is not alone, but he is the one in charge, his influence extends to the highest office in the land. This is why he has been able to cut deals, big deals for his firm, Megascope Healthcare Limited.
At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in Kenya, Ngatia, using the intelligence available to the head of state, was able to import Personal Protective Equipment’s and test kits which as a man from the bottom, sold cash first.
The critical care beds that were lacking in the country was being hawked by Ngatia through KEMSA. No wonder he was mentioned in the scandal where donation from the Chinese billionaire Jack Ma were diverted to Tanzania.
KEMSA lost Sh63 billion in the shady deals.
The man who wants to lead Nairobi has been involved in all the shady deals at the Ministry of Health.
