RESOLVED ACCORDINGLY

THAT, AWARE THAT while Health is a devolved

function, Article 4(3) of the Constitution states that ‘the

governments at the national and county levels are

distinct and inter-dependent and shall conduct their mutual relations on the basis of consultation and

cooperation’;

FURTHER AWARE THAT, there is no existing

comprehensive legal framework to guide the consultative

and collaborative process between the Ministry of Health (MoH) and County Governments;

COGNIZANT THAT, when the Managed Equipment

Services (MES) project was launched on 6th February,

2015, the Ministry of Health entered into arrangements with five foreign firms for the provision of specialized

medical equipment worth Kshs. 38 Billion;

NOTING THAT, according to the Ministry of Health, the

project is aimed at improving health infrastructure and

enhancing the capacity of counties to provide specialized health care targeting non-communicable conditions such

as cancer and renal conditions, as well as to promote

diagnostic, radiological and critical care

CONCERNED THAT, the Council of Governors (COG) has

voiced opposition to the project on the grounds that

County governments were not involved in the tender-

procurement process, the monies are debited annually from the accounts of the Counties directly by the

Treasury, there was lack of proper consultation between

the Ministry of Health and County governments, and,

that leasing the medical equipment was ultimately more

expensive than direct purchase;

CONCERNED FURTHER THAT, the extent to which

county government structures or institutions were

involved in the project has remained unclear, and the

opposition raised by the COG reveals serious gaps in the

consultative process between the MoH and county governments, including the terms of the contracts which

end in 2022;


the Senate resolves to establish an adhoc committee to investigate and establish the facts surrounding the

leasing of the Medical Equipment, in the now 119

beneficiary hospitals country wide, including-

i. whether county governments were involved in
