NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 4 \u2014 Former Presidential Economic Advisor Moses Kuria has faulted Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale for threatening to revoke the citizenship of former Kesses MP Swarup Mishra and deport him over his alleged involvement in organ trafficking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement Sunday, Kuria termed the move reckless and damaging to Kenya\u2019s investment image.<\/p>\n

Kuria questioned the legality and prudence of such threats, especially coming from a senior government official who is not directly responsible for immigration matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I wonder. When a senior government official who is not in charge of immigration says we will cancel citizenship and deport so and so, do we ponder to think what investors will think of our country?\u201d Kuria posed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre we that unorthodox? What of investors\u2019 confidence? What of due process? What of our credit rating? At this rate, from where shall we get jobs for these children of ours? Gracious Lord hear us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kuria\u2019s remarks come in response to Duale\u2019s fiery statements made on July 24 during the national finals of the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) sports tournament in Uasin Gishu.<\/p>\n

The Health CS accused Mishra of being involved in an international organ trafficking syndicate and threatened to push for the revocation of his citizenship.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot come to our country 20 years ago with a bag, you make money, you sell our organs, you become a Member of Parliament, you develop a culture of impunity, you hire lawyers, and when you\u2019re pursued you threaten us,\u201d Duale said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it means revoking that citizenship \u2014 because your citizenship is not by birth \u2014 we will revoke it, close your hospital, and deport you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statements come amid a national uproar following the release of a damning report by a government-appointed Inter-Agency Committee on Transplant and Organ Trafficking. The 13-member taskforce, which submitted its findings to Duale on July 22, unearthed extensive irregularities in organ transplants, pointing to a transnational organ trade network.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Mediheal Group of Hospitals \u2014 which Mishra founded \u2014 was linked to 417 out of 452 reviewed donor files, accounting for 81 per cent of all donors and 76 per cent of recipients. The committee named Mishra alongside three other doctors \u2014 Murthy, Sananda Bag, and Vijay Kumar \u2014 as individuals who should be investigated and prosecuted for their alleged roles in the illicit operations.<\/p>\n

The report also flagged regulatory failures and oversight lapses that allowed the alleged illegal activities to flourish.<\/p>\n

However, Mishra has denied the allegations, accusing the taskforce of conducting a fault-finding mission rather than a factual inquiry.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrgan trafficking means taking money from the recipient and soliciting and paying the donor \u2014 we [were] never involved in such a process. The committee should have been on a mission of fact-finding, not fault-finding,\u201d Mishra said on July 29.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
