    "content": "When tenders are floated, they have specific instructions or directions to the people who are bidding. If, for example, you are supposed to do pagination or in ink it has to be indicated there. Therefore, anything that goes outside what was provided for in the tender document is actually considered as irregular and, of course, the disqualification should apply. Thus, this tender was badly handled. I would not want to indicate why it was handled that way but from the look of it, there must have been some pressure somewhere. That is my own view as an investigator. This is because procurement officers know the law. There are only two conclusions that you can make. One, they were bribed. Two, there was an influence that was coming from other quarters. Mainly those are the two reasons from our experience. So, that is my conclusion. I would not want to delve into the conclusion of Dr. Mulwa because he gave evidence before this august House and his evidence is there. On the issue of Terry Ramadhan, her status and whether we actually received feedback as seen in our documents, we did a letter to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of KEMSA. We gave him the reasons why we think or it was our view that disciplinary action should be taken against this particular officer. As to why she is still in the public service, I would not want to go there because our responsibility when it comes to administrative action is to tell the institution to take disciplinary action."
