    "content": "The Committee observed that despite the allocation for leasing of medical equipment having increased to the current Ksh9.4 billion, there was need to audit the beneficiaries of these equipment as well as the details of the contracts. The Committee observed that some of the 94 hospitals in respective counties that were expected to receive the specialised equipment are yet to receive them. Some lack the relevant skills and reagents to operate them. Therefore, there are many hospitals with machines, but simple things like reagents or skills to use the machines are lacking and, therefore, they remain unutilised. To this end, the Committee has resolved to engage with the Chairperson of the Committee on Health to discuss the matter before making recommendations on the 2018/2019 Budget Estimates. In addition, while we will be conducting public hearings in May this year for the 2018/2019 Estimates, we will visit some selected counties to specifically have an understanding of the leasing of medical equipment programme, including Garissa County, as the Leader of the Majority Party is suggesting."
