    "content": "Hon. Speaker, there was no maize that was supplied. The contract was time bound because it says very clearly that the maize was supposed to be delivered in four weeks and way beyond four weeks when Erad Suppliers had not supplied the maize, NCPB had the mandate to cancel the contract. However, that did not happen. It was still left to go on beyond the time of the contract and they were allowed to go on and engage arbitration when the contract could have been cancelled. Then that leaves a begging question: Why did NCPB staff or whoever was involved and the highest authority at that time not cancel the contract? Why did they let them to go ahead? That is because I have even seen a letter from the Permanent Secretary (PS) Kinyua saying that the companies that had not supplied maize by that time, that money should have been diverted to buy maize locally. He put it very clearly that the companies that had not supplied should not be given the chance to supply by making sure that “you do not open the bid.”"
