    "content": "care of our people. That is an issue that ought to have been addressed long time ago. I also wish to note that there are two bodies that were meant to supply the drugs; that is, Dol International and Associated Companies. They were not able to comply with the terms given. In my view, the continued contract with these bodies must be reviewed for the interest of Kenyans. Again, it is important that the Ministry of Medical Services must at all times take the lives of Kenyans seriously. These drugs were meant to be supplied in 2006 and have not been supplied up to now. This has affected even the productivity of this nation. This is because time and again, you will find people queuing for drugs at the Kenyatta National Hospital and other Government hospitals. We know these are the poor in the society who cannot afford these medicines. Therefore, this matter must be taken seriously if we really want to improve the lives of our people. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, remitting Kshs2 billion to a company that does not perform is like sabotaging the lives of our people. In my view, this is an issue that needs to be addressed. All relevant Government agencies should be called upon to investigate and act on this matter. I beg to fully support the recommendations as per this Report."
