    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to speak to the amendment seeking to delete subclause (3) (b). Some tender documents are extremely tedious to prepare; they have many figures going down and further down. Man is to err. I know that the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee said that in this era, we do not want to accept any errors, but we should know that man is to err. That does not change. You realise that such corrections always give opportunity to actors in procurement entities to steal. There is a proposed amendment to Clause 81, seeking to put out the whole issue of errors. It says that the figure is absolute and that is the figure that is going to be. I would like to understand this proposal before I support it. Why are we closing that gap completely? I know that, because of the many figures, sometimes people make errors; when such errors are corrected, we quickly accept them. Sometimes it is a small error of Kshs200 or Kshs5,000. We should not close that gap completely."
