    "content": "equipment, first from Kshs4.6 billion, then to Kshs6.5 billion and now to Kshs9.5 billion. We have consistently asked; if it was a fixed term contract, where is the addendum to this country that varied these figures? Nobody has brought that contract here. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we have been consistently asking is that if it was a fixed term contract, where is the addendum to this contract that varied these figures? Nobody has brought that contract here. During the previous Parliament, some documents relating to this contract were brought to this House. It was scandalous to note that the Government has signed a contract to lease even disposable materials in hospitals, including plastic needles and gloves. How do you lease gloves that are used and disposed of after being used once? They leased biceps and all manner of tiny equipment including hand towels. How can you lease a hand towel? All these were reflected in the lease that was brought to this House. Recently I met a governor from Rift Valley. In fact, he is the Governor for the distinguished Senate Majority Leader. He told me and he was ready to be quoted that equipment worth Kshs20 million was delivered to his county and he was billed Kshs200 million. This is the fraud that is going on in the Ministry of Health. So, the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet County are going to pay Kshs200 million taxed at source for equipment worth Kshs20 million. This is what is happening in all our counties."
