    "content": "It is sad that close to seven years now, we have been budgeting for and putting money under this project, for it to go into the drain in the pretext of leasing medical equipment. I do not think any feasibility study was done before the leasing of these equipment. The Ministry of Health is notorious. You remember the ambulance scandal before we came to Parliament with you. Then we had the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) billionaires during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we have MES. People are suffering. The money should have been used to buy equipment, not for all the counties, but for regional blocs. Every year, we are appropriating money to manage the equipment. We do not know the cartels or people we are paying. After seven years of lease, the equipment is supposed to go back. It should not be a lease. We should have bought the equipment over time, so that within the period of 10 years, the counties own the equipment. If you remember, governors were up in arms those days. They were not interested because they were not involved. There are some senior civil servants who sat, planned"
