I oppose the proposed deletion of sub-clause (3)(b). If you are dealing with Kshs100,000, what margin of error is it that we are saying will warrant correction? If we are talking of millions of shillings, what will be the variation? If we are talking of billions of shillings, what will be the variation? The figures involved may be in trillions of shillings, yet we are talking of an error of about Kshs50,000. There is so much ambiguity. When dealing with huge sums of money and technicalities, somebody doing a variation is bound to make a mistake, which is normally provided for in terms of a plus or a minus amount. This depends on the quantities of the amount involved. To require one to be 100 per cent accurate is unfair, considering that some tenders are worth billions of shillings."}
