    "content": "concern that no prior approval from the Treasury and the parent Ministry was sought before commencement of the project. Further, the appointment of the lead consultant was done single-handedly by the Director without the involvement of the Tender Committee, and in contravention of the Public Procurement Regulations. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, similarly, the awarding of the contract for the partitioning of the NHIF Building at a contract sum of Kshs756, 220,120 was also carried out in blatant disregard of the procurement law as no tenders were floated for the works, hence contravening this provision of the Act. Another case worth noting is that the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) awarded a contract, through selective tendering, for the renovation of hostels at the medical training college in Nairobi at a contract sum of Kshs11,689,400.The contractor in question was paid Kshs4,351,518. In this regard, no authority was sought from the Treasury through the parent Ministry to embark on contractual work through single sourcing. This is yet another case of deliberate disregard of the procurement regulations."
