    "content": "not disburse in good time. We speak of big money and increase, but they keep delaying the services to the people. I hope that this time, they will improve in service delivery. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the ruling of the High Court, it was a 2016 High Court ruling. I wonder when they will put in a framework that will dispense the money in an alternative way and not under division. I think this House will have a mandate to see that this framework is done. Otherwise, the conditional grants will be delayed. I am saddened though I will not oppose this because we need money for the counties. I feel sad that there is an increase in conditional allocations to the Managed Equipment Services (MES), which is a project that we investigated. I was in that Ad hoc Committee. We have now increased the allocation by another Kshs1 billion despite us reporting to this House - a report that was thrown out by this House - that there was so much corruption to an extent that, for example, a stethoscope costing Kshs5,500 was going for Kshs1.2 million. It is leased at Kshs4,500, but what reflects in our records is that it is leased at a cost of Kshs1.2 million. This is corruption at its highest level. I do not know what we will do about it. Instead of stalling this project and its implementation, we increase money by Kshs1 billion. That is sad and I hope there will be a way we can improve the services after this-- -"
