"content": "bid bond. A bid bond is not conditional. It is either a bid bond as per the term stated or it is not there. I am not a lawyer, but that is very clear. You either comply or you do not comply. From the word go, this firm did not comply. Secondly, they went ahead and got another performance bid. The bid bond does not exist. The next question you will ask the management of the Board is: What happened? Clearly, that company did not comply with the basic requirement to go to the next stage of tender evaluation. But, nevertheless, they went ahead. When they went to the other stage, another bid bond was given by I&M Bank. I will ask the Central Bank of Kenya to look into the banks which aided that fraud. If the bank did not give the performance bond and could have followed due process, fraud would not have happened. The banks are very important in this country. The next issue is what happened with our banks. Why did the two banks get involved in this transaction with somebody who was not their customer? The report is coming out that Erad General Supplies was not a customer to those two banks."
