    "content": "a deficiency in the utilization of the equipment due to the inadequacies of the staff skills to utilize them adequately. On the issue of the Constitution and Devolution, I have addressed myself to it. I will try to deliver the minutes of the meeting as well as the contracts for the 47 counties. If Members have more information that we do not have, they can provide to the House and tell us who the well-connected wheeler dealers who pushed this deal are. According to the information we have officially, is that this was a well-thought programme which is cheaper than purchasing those equipment. This is an issue where for seven years there will be 28 quarterly equal instalments of payments totaling to Kshs38 billion. The companies who own the equipment will continue to run them as members of the public get service. They will continue to maintain, service and repair them until seven years are over. Then they can sell the equipment to the Government USA$1 each. The benefit of buying and leasing should be compared. I will present that when I will be presenting the list. On the governors’ issues, the House must understand that the governors beat a retreat after a formal agreement with the National Government. I cannot answer on the cost analysis. We have to ask. However, it is much cheaper than buying the equipment. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale can bear me out that sometimes equipment lie there due to lack of a very small part. This arrangement ensures that the person given the contract stays with the equipment throughout the seven years. That machine must work throughout those seven years. He or she is to provide the parts, service it and ensure it is working. The training component is having a teething problem. I am also an interested party in this matter. This way of handling theseequipment will benefit us more because most of the time they like in hospitals, say, for lack of films in X-rays. In this case, the films will be provided for the seven years. It will be ensured that it is working. For the few issues that I am unable to provide to allay the anxiety of the House, I will provide information later."
