    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to make my comments on this Report. I have taken time to read it. I have also taken time to read the submissions of the contractors. However, I will oppose it for the following reasons. I am going to restrict my five minutes to two companies called BellCo SRL Ltd. and Angelica Medical Supplies. When you read it, it entirely contradicts itself. Any company that applies for the tender must be the original manufacturer of the equipment. In the Report, we are told that representatives of the three companies appeared before the Committee, but one company declined. The procurement laws allow agents to act on behalf of original manufacturers. We are told that the power of attorney to Angelica Medical Supplies came in after the tender was awarded. However, in the documents tabled before the Committee, there is a letter dated 25th November 2014. That was before the contract was awarded. It identifies Angelica Medical Supplies as the sole agent for BellCo SRL Ltd. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee was also presented with the power of attorney that was signed after the contract had been awarded. The letter was addressed to the Permanent Secretary (PS), Ministry of Health. It talks about the relationship between the two companies."
