    "content": "So, they went ahead and initiated a tender process again which brought in the firms that had earlier been debarred from providing services as required by law. Certainly, we have realised that the Managing Director has not been able to conform to the advice of the Attorney-General and Public Investments Committee as required. The information he gave to the Attorney-General, with regard to some of the firms, was faulty. First, he said that they were going to make a variation; then he said they are going to have an addendum to the initial tender. We finally realised that it was neither an addendum nor a variation of the first contract, but a new contract that was awarded at the expense of Kenya Bureau of Standards. So, we have recommended as a Committee that those two firms be debarred as indicated in the Report. The Managing Director of KEBS should be held culpable for putting in costs that were unwarranted, particularly in trying to initiate another process of tendering which was uncalled for, and for contravening the advice that was given by The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
