Murathe arrived at Madison Insurance House a few minutes past 3 PM in a black Toyota Prado. He was accompanied by two bodyguards. As the vehicle arrived, his bodyguard alighted and opened the door for the boss.
Journalists who were waiting at the scene were pushed aside to allow Murathe to access the building. He took a few minutes to chat with the journos.

EACC wants Murathe to shed light on his association with Kilig Limited, a company that was awarded a Ksh 4B tender to supply PPEs to KEMSA.
According to information at the Companies registry, Kilig was incorporated in January this year and awarded the multibillion tender a few weeks later. Details show that the firm is owned by one Willbroad Gatei Gachoka, a close associate of Murathe.
For the Corruption barons & musketeers, Covidgate was a step too far for ME which, forced me to lay bare and naked the Gazebo Gangsters. Including David Murathe, Governor Kiraitu Murungi and very soon others to follow. Heartless, immoral
Merchants of Death

“We are consultants. We do a lot of consultancy services. We have consulted for various international companies. We are setting up a lot of businesses in the free and special economic zones and we also consult for construction companies in the country.”
