• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: It is also important to note that funds for the MES Project form part of the conditional grants allocated to counties from the national Government share of equitable allocation. Indeed, according to the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA), dating back to the FY 2015/2016, county governments have been allocated, through conditional grants, monies under the title “Conditional Allocation for Leasing of Medical Equipment.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view

• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: If I may bring this to the attention of Members, during investigation, there was a lot of hullaballoo whether the money belongs to the national Government or county governments. The Ministry argued that the money belongs to the national Government and not county governments. Members of this House know very well that the MES budget appeared in the CARAs throughout the financial years. Those challenges were there as far as the issues of budget were concerned. The National Treasury confirmed that the money is from the county governments. view

• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: The Committee notes that the MES Project was a classic case of a good idea with potentially high benefits for the people of Kenya that was bungled up during implementation due to irregularities and outright unlawful acts. Accordingly, the MES was a good idea, but badly implemented as far as the Committee is concerned. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I will now proceed to highlight some of the findings of the Committee. We wanted to know whether the Ministries did a needs assessment as far as the project is concerned. We interacted with both the Ministry of Health and the Council of Governors (CoG). What transpired at that particular time is that Ministries were saying that the needs assessment was done, but Gov. Oparanya who represented the CoG as the Chair, said that the needs assessment was not done. The counties also said that they were not involved from the beginning as far ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in Senate: We looked at the needs assessment simply because we wanted to know how prepared the counties were as far as the project is concerned and how the equipment was placed. Unfortunately, most counties said that needs assessment was not carried out. view
