    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I just like how words change. There was no mention of the Senator for Kitui County. No such mention was given. In fact, I could just be talking about an imaginary speaker; a Senator next to me. On Page 54 at the 13th joint sitting held on that day the committee received the final report from the regulatory authority, the committee was briefed as follows. There is a full briefing. All the COVID-19 related tenders were processed through direct procurement. The procurement proceedings were initiated via intent letters et cetera. The commitment letters did not contain clear specifications of the items required to be supplied. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, how do you have commitment letters that do not have clear specifications and the items being supplied? This is what I said earlier. Even with that Disaster Risk Management Bill, these are the things we want to put into place. It was co-sponsored by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Sakaja. You can understand in a situation where there is an emergency, things are moving very quickly. However, if we do not put these systems into place then the whole emergency situation puts us in a situation where we are making actions. Those actions end up without the deliverables that are expected in the long run. The rest of the report deals with the various submissions and details for this which are very good and appropriately put. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, last but not least, there are very specific recommendations at the end of this report. From the onset, the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) investigates at various levels. The quotation of specific sections is recommendation number one. There are various articles and what the infringements are seen to be."
