    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the answer but there is a sense when we ask for a statement on a matter of public interest, we expect our committees to aggressively interrogate the relevant Ministries from the perspective of the public whom we represent in this House. Any senior public official, be it in KRA, they are required by law to exercise due diligence and take judicial notice of a matter like this one. This is a vaccine which has a short shelve life and it is a donation. Some people went ahead and took the trouble to bring it. We know how many people are dying in this country because the statistics are published daily. People in KRA should have taken judicial notice of the fact that this is an urgent thing which is perishable and donated. It is not only this one. There are many incidences of donations including food. I know examples of food that had been donated but wasted in Mombasa and thrown away. What I want the Chairman to clarify is this; in view of the investigations that the Committee has done, is there any culpability by KRA or any other official in the Government who has failed to exercise due care and diligence in view of the kind of products we are dealing with and who should be held responsible? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
