    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have three concerns. We all know in ordinary times that if you lease the house you stay in---The idea of the Government giving money to counties to lease equipment is deliberate and meant to increase corruption in this country. As other speakers had mentioned earlier, there are equipment that would be cheaper to buy for the counties. We have leased the equipment, we are not using them yet we are paying for them. It is not proper to do that. Secondly, we do not have trained staff for any of the equipment. In my county, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) equipment has been there for the last two years but there is no trained staff. What have we done? We are using taxpayers’ money to lease equipment we are not even using. This is a source of corruption. This must be stopped so that we purchase equipment from Holland, China, Pakistan, India or Japan and use them. Leasing them is a source of corruption and we cannot stomach it."
