    "content": "Even a Class Seven pupil can read this Report and tell you it is full of contradictions. I will not support a report which is full of contradictions. I want to support my dear friend and colleague, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that this Report be committed to a Committee of the Whole. We look at the submissions and compare apples with apples because submissions do not add up. The recommendations are contrary to submissions by either the Ministry of Health or contractors. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have been happy if the Committee recommended those who were in the tender committee be prosecuted. They must tell us why they allowed one company which was the manufacturer, to bid and win the tender and, on the other hand, they also allowed another company which was not an original manufacturer to bid and win the contract. The prerequisite for the tender was that you must be the original manufacturer of this equipment. I invite my colleagues to take their time and read the report. I have read the whole of it over the weekend. This is the reason I am seeking for more time. As I said, it is full of contradictions. We have spent over US$43 million on this MES. On one page they are raising issues of the cost of buying equipment. It is a leased equipment service. That equipment should go back to the manufacturers and we proceed. Do not be coming here and saying that the price of a torch is Kshs1 million and yet it is leased. This report is bogus."
