    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Health under the chairmanship of Hon. Sabina Chege and the Vice-Chair, Hon. Kuttuny, for the way they moved very fast to handle this matter. I saw a lot of optimism, but when you read this Report, you realise that it is very disappointing. It is disappointing in the sense that it is sanitising. If we are told that these are the companies which were registered and within less than three weeks or one month, they had been given billions of tenders, then they should go ahead and name this company and if possible, shame them. We want them to be blacklisted from doing Government business. Why is the Committee shying away from that recommendation? It is lacking. What we are seeing in the recommendation is blame game and forwarding the problem to the DCI. Hon. Speaker, under Article 95 of the Constitution, it is very clear that this House can deliberate and resolve any matter of importance to this county. Who are the directors of this company called Shine and Buy or whatever? We need to know them because they are hiding. I expected a recommendation to show that Buy and Shy Company is blacklisted. This is shoddy work. The Departmental Committee on Health has disappointed us very much. We have COVID- 19 billionaires and the CEO of KEMSA has been on record that he was given directions on the list of companies. He mentioned this. Our Committee, that we trust, has shied away from this. Hon. Joshua Kutuny is my neighbour and I respect him very much. He articulates things both in Kiswahili and English, which some of us cannot do. When it came to the recommendations and the way he has been articulating issues of maize, I expected the same to happen here. What happened to my brother, Hon. Joshua Kutuny, and my neighbour? I do not know what happened. As we move forward, in terms of market survey, I have seen that you have gone to the specifics of saying that the DCI should investigate the legal officer, the procurement officer and the commercial services officer. I have not seen anywhere where it is targeting the CEO. The buck The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
