    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as it is said, if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and even quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. This leasing thing is actually a duck. I have spoken about this in other quarters. If there is one way that counties have to bear burden, it is in the equipment which has been leased to them and put in their institutions but some of it has not been used since it was delivered. My argument about all these is that if you want to equalise and standardise all hospitals and all counties health-wise then you better lease the doctors and the specialists as well. They should be the same doctors, same specialists and same technicians to handle the leased equipment but that is not to be the case. I spoke of a situation where some equipment was delivered even before buildings for putting them in were built. They are lying in storage and before they are used, they will already be obsolete. I support the idea that the Committee on Health should get to the bottom of this and bring us a full report. Members should also have a copy of the contract so that we speak for ourselves. We should see what was signed and the benefits of leasing this equipment and putting them on the county governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support Sen. Dullo on this. I thank you."
