"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, in his Statement, the Minister said that on 21st September, 2010, he wrote to Treasury, raising concerns over the pricing of the contract for Japan Port Consultants, yet I have with me here a letter that was done by the Ministry, which was the procuring entity, dated 1st April, 2010, awarding the contract to Japan Port Consultants. How is it possible that the Minister sought a clarification after the award of the contract? More fundamentally, it is the rule of tendering the world over that when you tender for consultancy, all the people who are supposed to participate in the tender are listed and their positions indicated. I have just looked at the submissions by Japan Ports Consultantsâ list of staff and curriculum vitae (CV). They are almost ten people listed to be named. Some of them are drivers, whose rates are given as Kshs300,000 per week or Kshs1.2 million per month. The clarification I need from the Minister is this. 1. Why was the financial proposal of Royal Harkening not opened? 2. What necessitated the negotiations that were done almost five months after the tender had been awarded to Japan Port Consultants?"
