    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this important Bill. I want to thank our able Chair for leading us well and considering our inputs to the Supplementary Appropriations Bill, which will ensure Kenyans get value for money. The Budget and Appropriations Committee spent a lot of time on the Bill before us. As my colleagues have said, we must ensure that Kenyans get value for money. I am concerned because the other day, the Government adopted a policy of leasing health equipment. However, when it comes to the Supplementary Budget we have seen huge figures for purchase of equipment. As we pass the amount for the CT scanners, we should ask ourselves if the Government wants to lease the equipment or purchase them. When the issue of leasing was floated we were given advantages including not incurring obsolesce costs because it would be carried by the leaser. However, today, we are seeing a huge amount for purchase of CT scanners."
