    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was coming to that. We noticed that the needs assessment conducted by counties was never established. There were so many gaps and missing contractual documents between the Government and the county governments in the country. We also realized that there is a standard pricing of Kshs95 million at the inception of this process and it got to Kshs200 million, which is being deducted at the level of the National Treasury. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are looking at interrogating this matter further. If there is any person that did not do due diligence, especially in the Ministry or the county government, they must be held responsible and face the full force of the law. That is why we are looking at the aspect of a special audit, so that we can take stock of the entire process. We established that in some instances, there were cases where some of the equipment that was leased could have been bought, because it is not sustainable. An example is the trolleys among other things. We have recommended the need for a representative sample or visit all some of the hospitals that are not using this equipment to ascertain their status. Finally, we are looking into this matter with the seriousness it deserves and with a view to ensure that anybody who is found culpable and did not do due diligence is held accountable. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
