The contractors protected themselves by capping their penalties,\u201d said Seme MP James Nyikal.\u00a0He added,\u00a0&#8220;The contractor has an advantage of Sh324 million ($3 million) in whatever the government does regarding the deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For instance, details on the MES challenges tabled before the committee yesterday\u00a0showed that while contractors delayed installing theatre equipment in 54 hospitals, the loss of value was capped at Sh3.2 million instead of paying the government Sh107 million.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-group readmore my-3\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PKF Managing Director David Kabeberi said as at December 2018, the government was to pay the contractors Sh444 million, a figure he said was calculated at 15 per cent of the contract price per day.\u00a0Other\u00a0contract penalty rates, he added,\u00a0were calculated based on Treasury Bills.\u00a0The amount was as a result of delays by the government to pay annual leasing fees and implementation of the contract with five international companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advice from experts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An audit report tabled before the committee showed that\u00a0failure to get advice from experts in different fields, and a survey on the needs of each county\u2019s health facilities, contributed to the delays in implementation of the project, hence the penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the challenges included\u00a0leasing of equipment to facilities with no electricity, absence of personnel to manage the equipment, or even lack of clean water to operate the machines.<\/p>\n<p>It also emerged that only the government&#8217;s legal advisers attended the negotiations. Officials from the Finance department were\u00a0called after the deal had been signed to look at the computations on value for money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs it was the first time the MES model was being implemented in Kenya, and considering the magnitude of the project, it was important to have skilled transaction advisers representing the government and the Ministry of Health to ensure success of the project,\u201d reads part of the report.<\/p>\n<p>The audit firm pointed out that the national government should have involved stakeholders in all the 47 counties and taken their views into consideration in the development and implementation of the project.<\/p>\n<p>The committee also queried how the radiology equipment was going to be disposed when the machines become obsolete, given the\u00a0radioactive risks involved.\u00a0When the MES contract ends and the government decides to purchase the machines at $1\u00a0each, it will carry the burden of disposing the equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the projects are expected to wind up in 2022.\u00a0But\u00a0if a contract\u00a0for equipment is renewed, or the government terminates a contract prematurely, the contractor is to get rid of its machines without harming the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The companies that supplied equipment are Shenzhen Midray Biomedical Electronic Company (supplied theatre equipment to 96 hospitals), Esteem Industries (supplied theatre equipment to 96 hospitals), Bellco S R L (supplied renal dialysis equipment\u00a0to 49 hospitals), Philips Medical Systems Nederland B V (supplied ICU equipment to 11 hospitals) and GE East Africa Services Ltd (supplied radiology equipment to 98 hospitals).<\/p>\n<p>It also emerged that unlike direct purchasing from the manufacturer that entails training of personnel to operate the equipment, the 47 counties have to train health workers at their own expense, a situation that has left some of the machines gathering dust in medical facilities.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the audit report shows that in out of the 98 hospitals, radiology machines were not fully operational in four of them due to lack of trained radiographers. Also, three of the 49 hospitals equipped with renal machines had no trained nephrology nurses as at December 31, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the 96 hospitals that received fully fitted theatres, Chebimet Hospital in Elgeyo Marakwet, Gesima (Nyamira), Baragoi (Samburu), Emuhaya (Vihiga) and Kacheliba (West Pokot) had not operationalised the facilities due to lack of theatre nurses.\u00a0The Health committee heard that some of the radiology equipment was supplied to hospitals without regular power supply.<\/p>\n<p>In another\u00a020 hospitals, X-Ray machines cannot be used unless the electricity supply is upgraded.\u00a0A dialysis machine was installed in Kapenguria Hospital despite the facility having no electricity.\u00a0The report identified other affected hospitals in Bondo, Likoni, Keroka, Emuhaya, Makindu,\u00a0Nyambene, Kehancha, Garbatulla and Nandi Hills.<\/p>\n<p>With most of the medical equipment having a life span of two to seven years, the government is said to have saved money by leasing instead of buying the machines.\u00a0The MES project has supplied and installed 254 dialysis machines (five per county).<\/p>\n<p>As at December 2017, the contractor (Belico S R) had invoiced the Treasury Sh1.3 billion, an amount that is to be subjected to withholding tax. The company had also been slapped with a penalty of Sh27,000 for performance failure.<\/p>\n<p>The PKF report shows the government was to save Sh275 million in the first three years of leasing renal equipment compared to buying at a cost of Sh5.5 billion.<\/p>\n<p>In its recommendations on MES, PKF said differences in demand for specific medical equipment and services across the country should be considered in future delivery models.\u00a0Due diligence should also be conducted to ascertain the existing demand for services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author:\u00a0Everlyne Kwamboka \u00a0 AfricaPress-Kenya: The Government has lost Sh2 billion in penalties after being outsmarted by international contractors supplying medical equipment to counties.
