He was right to have stated that the tender had been cancelled. The position is as follows: The tender for the construction of the above road was advertised in 2006/2007 Financial Year. The evaluation of tenders was completed in 2006/2007 Financial Year. However, the project could not be awarded because we had come to the closure of the financial year. Unfortunately, the project was erroneously re- advertised along with other roads this financial year. This amounted to double-tendering. I wish, therefore, to inform this House and confirm that the procurement based on the earlier advertised tender shall be concluded shortly and the contract will be awarded. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."}
