I was even inclined to say, why did they not just completely dissolve the institution called KEMSA? In that, we even change the name and start afresh with something else other than letting them carry on with business. This is in the DNA of the institution.

There are requirements here that they should report on a couple of thing after such and such a time, so that we can be kept abreast on where things are going. It is a bad season. Even from an academic point of view that I cannot miss, the IMF is in town and they are familiar with all these things that we are doing. If you compare the money that we are asking from them to the money that are lost in this Report, just in the Ministry of Health only, not what they have investigated… When I was in the Public Accounts Committee four or five years ago, every The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
