"content": "was so frustrated that afternoon that I did not even come to Parliament. Some of the Members know because I was just calling all over. I knew it was a life we could have saved, but we were following protocol: “Oh, between county and county, we cannot release our ambulance”. What nonsense! Release the ambulance and let us take you to the police! After you release the ambulance and save a life, we will defend you here on the Floor of the House. If there are PPEs that are not being released in KEMSA, release them and we will defend you on the Floor of the House. Instead, what we hear of are irregular procedures. I would rather hear of a regular procedure, but the facilities have reached where they need to reach. Then we can discuss that later and hold you accountable. As a country, we need to be very serious about holding people accountable. I am hoping that the other committee - I do not know whether it is the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) or the Public Investments Committee (PIC) - will come up with names. We are hearing rumours that our own colleagues may be mentioned. If they are there, name and shame them! Somebody is dying because you are trying to make money! This kind of money… Hon. Speaker, sometimes you should even allow us to speak in mother-tongue. There is some anger that you just need to express in mother-tongue and call people names in mother-tongue. People are dying while you are making money! What kind of idiocy is that, Hon. Speaker? What kind of greed is that? Shame on you!"
