After consultations, the committee resolved not to give her another chance and warned her of consequences.
The cost of the MES contract was initially set at Sh38 billion but later rose to almost Sh63 billion after variation.
Former Health Principal Secretary Khadijah Kassachoon risks being fined Sh200,000 or being jailed for six months for failing to provide documents relating to the Sh63 billion Managed Equipment Service (MES) project.
Dr Kassachoon, who on Monday appeared before the Senate ad hoc committee probing the MES scandal, failed, for the second time, to provide satisfactory answers to questions on the project.
