    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when we go to the harmonisation process, we look at what has been proposed and the Committee decides and agrees. We may not have agreed with him as a Committee, but I am stating what the Committee finally agreed. If we were to go Hon. Gumbo’s route, it is very dangerous. Some of the price competitions are usually on less than 10 per cent. The next one may be less by 5 per cent or higher by 10 per cent and one is excluded. So, if we allow variations before 12 months are over, people will collude, win the tender and then say that there are issues and they want to vary the tender. Then they will increase the price by 10 per cent. In the next clause, we are allowing them to vary from 10 per cent to 15 per cent. If we allow this to happen, it will mean that people will collude, technically knock others on price and then before two months are over, come back and say that there is a variation.
