Temporary Deputy Chairman, if you look at the amendments, we went through a lot of consultation in the Committee on this issue and we were all in agreement including the Treasury that the final sum should not be changed because of the mischief that Hon. Ogari has brought out very eloquently. I would like to persuade Hon. Ogari that this does not in any way affect the adjustment of the line items. If you made an error and you have to change from Kshs500 per hour to Kshs200 per hour and you accept it, then you can do it. If you do not, you withdraw and get out of the tender because of that mischief. So, the line items within your bid can be adjusted. It is not prohibited by this amendment. However, we must cure that mischief that many contractors have been playing. Finally, people should also be serious with tenders. No one calls you to correct your exam when you have done it. That maybe there was an error then someone tells you The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."}
