The Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) has depleted its supplies of coronavirus screening and testing kits, the Star newspaper says, quoting a report tabled on Tuesday by a Senate committee.
"The institute needs at least 790m Kenyan shillings ($7.3m; £5.9m) to restock reagents and other materials used for testing for coronavirus," the institute's director, Yeri Kombe said.
Kemri is co-ordinating the country's screening and testing of coronavirus cases, as well as conducting research on a possible vaccine for the pandemic.
The East African nation has to date confirmed 373 cases and 14 deaths.
