    "content": "From the evidence adduced, the Committee noted a clear mismanagement of some tenders. I want to be very clear on this point. Of the 12 tenders listed in the Motion, the County Assembly only prosecuted four of them. The County Assembly used 12 tenders to allege mismanagement in the county, but they only prosecuted four of them. Eight were abandoned on the road. Of the four tenders prosecuted, the Committee notes that there was clear mismanagement of the tender process where tenders were awarded to companies whose bids were not responsive or where there were clear cases of conflict of interest. The specific tenders in question include- (a)Tender No.CGK/ICT/OT/047/2017-2018; Tender for the Design, Development, Installation and Commissioning of Integrated Hospital Management Information System. In this tender, full payment was made long before the user testing was done. Further, the company awarded did not meet the qualifications prescribed in the tender documents. (b)Tender No. CGK/MOW/OT/038/2017-2018; Tender for the Proposed Waterworks for Mwea-Makima Water Project, March 2018. This tender was awarded to Eva Trading Agencies Limited, which was clearly owned by a member of the family, specifically the brother to the Accounting Officer who awarded the tender with no declaration of interest, yet he is the one who signed on behalf of the County Government."
