    "content": "I want to give the Deputy Chairman a guide. When we were doing the optic fiber cable, the East African Marine Systems, there were only two companies that could do the surveying for the cable. However, if you advertised, you would get all manner of brokers who would say that they would do it, and then they would go and negotiate with the two companies.You might end up with a broker who may end up not doing it. Knowing globally there are only two companies that can bid they go to them; get the time and efficiency because the cost does not change. So, in these kinds of situations we know for such projects there can be such people. I think this is deletion of direct procurement but we are now restricting. People must have been pre-qualified and this is already included here. Let us allow this to move on and when we get to New Clause 44, Members will interrogate and see it is provided for. I think that is the best route to go than try to lock this out."
