    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, a concern that would raise eyebrows is the issue where payment has been made for equipment that is already in Netherlands, but it has not arrived yet in Kenya; meaning that the Netherlands Government will be paid on monthly basis and yet the equipment is not being used. This is not economical in any sense; that you are paying for equipment that is still in the Netherlands. In fact, the payments ought to have been done when the equipment had landed, but because of the many dynamics, the project became highly expensive and did not meet the needs of Kenyans. Yes, the Report has come to the Floor of this House, the over-generalization of the Report does not give a true picture of who exactly was involved in what. Probably, specific issues, and names needed to come out clearly so that Kenyans have a clue of what happened. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need for a re-think of this particular Report, so that the recommendations are seamless. The contradictions and ironies that are in the Report need to be ironed out. I am sure that Kenyans are really waiting to hear the verdict of this Report. The verdict needs to confirm the Senate as the Upper House. There is need to rethink on this, so that the Committee on Health is brought on board to ensure that whatever is being put before us is commendable and meets the test of time. Thank you, for giving me the opportunity. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
