    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I request my colleagues to allow me go through the Report and then make comments after it. I am making observations after which I will give the recommendations of the Committee. On the Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), our observation was that the documents supplied by the Ministry of Health, that is, the contracts with contractors did not bear the public seal, while MoUs between the Ministry of Health and county governments did not have the Government of Kenya (GoK) public seal or county seals. Some MoUs were also a product of cut and paste and referred to counties other than the counties in question. Some MoUs were not executed at all. There was a standard MoU for all counties, with all the lists of equipment, without a prior need assessment, raising a possibility of dumping of equipment. The equipment was overpriced. The lease price for seven years is almost equal to the price if it was an outright purchase. The deduction of monies done by the National Treasury at source is contrary to the law, that is, the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and Chapter 12 of the Constitution regarding public finance. Bomet County did not sign, yet it is among the counties that are paying."
