    "content": "I wish the Committee would take a step further. I have seen a few tenders being advertised in the newspapers. These are very huge tenders. We would like to see this process of tendering being done above board so that we do not end up in a murky situation. We do not want to end up in a murky process that was carried out during the Tenth Parliament by the said former Ministers. The murky processes we are fighting were done eight years ago if you are to go by this report. One then wonders why nobody among them was bold enough to say: “I will bite the bullet and say the truth.” There are institutions that are very critical in this country. One of them is the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum. We want to see things done in a transparent manner. We appreciate that the report brings out the issue of transport. When we are advertising tenders, we need to agree with those who are doing the project what the tender entails. The other day, I was reading that we are supposed to be giving a billion for the maintenance of Thika Road. I wondered what the agreement is between the companies that are doing the roads and the Government. They must maintain the roads for two years at least before they hand over.
