    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, when KEMSA was gazetted as a procurer of medical commodities, a couple of years ago, one of its mandates was to become a commercially viable entity. Unfortunately, as the hon. Member said, that mandate has not been carried out because of the manner in which KEMSA was financed. The task force recommendation which we intend to implement is to make KEMSA commercially viable. We want to make sure that the present \"spaghetti way\" of procuring drugs where the Ministry, donors and KEMSA are involved in the process is eliminated, so that the donors can put their money in a basket fund managed by KEMSA. From that fund, where the Government will also contribute, KEMSA will be in a position to run medical commodities procurement much more effectively, in line with the concerns of the Member of Parliament."
