    "content": "In Ghana, the Deputy President concluded, with His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, the President of the Republic of Ghana, the setting up of a Kenyan embassy in Accra, which has been outstanding for the last sixteen years. In Congo Brazzaville, the Deputy President initiated a framework with His Excellency Dennis Nguesso of Congo Brazzaville, which is a home to the second largest forest in the world to establish an environment and climate change secretariat that was initially a project of the late Nobel Laureate Prof. Wangari Maathai and the Government of Congo. In Congo Brazzaville, there is a project that the late famous environmentalist, Wangari Maathai left and it is incumbent on the Government of Kenya to honour that brilliant environmentalist. Let me come to the question of procurement of the means of transport. The documents I have here include letters from the Deputy President to the Clerk, the Speaker, the Leader of Majority Party, the Leader of Majority Party, Senate, seeking the approval of the four Members who were part of the delegation. On procurement, the Government does not hide what it does. The Deputy President travelled to the four African nations in an aircraft Challenger 850, Bombardier, provided by the Vistajet, a private company based in Switzerland and has African partners all over the continent, including Nairobi. It is one of the biggest private jet companies in the world. On the tendering process, the air travel service was sourced and procured competitively in accordance with Section 74 of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005 and the regulations of 2006. The procurement was conducted as follows - We want the country and Parliament to hear this. One, the quotation was sourced from three service providers, who were pre- qualified by the Deputy President’s Office. I will provide the list of the pre-qualified companies. One was ADC Development Corporation, which is the African partner of M/s Vistajet, and whose quotation for the entire trip was Kshs18,864,000 equivalent of US$221,000, inclusive of all taxes, fees and charges.,"
