County bosses have claimed the medical equipment leasing scheme is scandalous after it was varied by more than 100 per cent.

The Council of Governors (CoG) says under the Sh38 billion Managed Equipment Service (MES), counties were originally paying Sh95 million, but are now being told to fork out Sh200 million annually.
