This is so that whoever commits an offence in another country cannot come to Kenya and participate in procurement process. The law, as it is now, can be drafted in a way that can be argued either way. I also want to thank Hon. Gumbo for inserting the words “or her” in the clause. This shows that a lot of legislation is gender-blind. A lot of the legislation only uses “his”. This amendment is very fundamental. The message we are sending is that when doing legislation, the drafters need to ensure that this very important matter is taken care of."}
