    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will try to answer the questions that have been put forth on the matter of the procurement of the long-lasting mosquito nets by the various Senators. The Senator for Narok asked me to give a chronology of what happened to bring out the issue of the pressure that I got from His Excellency the Deputy President. He alluded to the letters that I have submitted in regard to the tenders. Indeed, on around the end of April, the Global Fund wrote to the Kenya Global Fund Management Office, communicating a pre-award review decision to terminate the procurement of the Kshs3.7 billion mosquito nets tenders. This was after the procurement had been done earlier on in February by KEMSA. It is a usual procedure during the procurement under the Global Fund. After the evaluation of the tenders, the evaluation report is shared with the Global Fund to authenticate if full procurement procedures and law have been followed. On review, the Global Fund realized that the tender, which the evaluation committee had recommended to be awarded to one Shobikaa Impex Limited had an issue. I will refer to the bid bond, which I shared in the documents. In the Motion, I think it is page on 76 out of 85. If you look at the bid bond that I am referring to, down there has a stamp of the 21st of February, 2023, having been received by Monica at 9.37 a.m. This tender was running at the time this bid bond was received. The tender was supposed to close on 10th March. However, because of earlier closure, bid bond did not The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
