    "content": "(i) The Ministry of Medical Services should take quick and immediate action aimed at safeguarding public funds from possible loss, considering that some of the goods like the switches will expire by December 2010, barely six months from now. (ii) The PS, Ministry of Medical Services, should put in place sufficient measures to ensure that procurement of goods and services at the Ministry is transparent and accountable so as to avoid suspicion, leading to unnecessary investigations and court cases that end up delaying the whole process as evidenced in this particular case. (iii) The KACC should, in future, ensure that investigations and prosecutions on such matters are fast-tracked to avoid inordinate delays which impact negatively on service delivery and, thereby, hurting the country’s economic development. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have attached, so that hon. Members can get guided, copies of the minutes of all our three sittings. I have attached the letter from the Ministry of Health that alluded to the procurement that was supposed to be irregular. I have also attached the proceedings of the High Court matter that was used to determine the case. I have also attached a letter from KACC where it indicated that it had no objections for the goods to be received so long as it was done in accordance with the law. I have also attached the final case that led to the acquittal of the Directors of Dol International plus other co-accused where they had been involved in unsuspected criminal case, so that Members debate on this Motion can be fully informed."
