    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like the Minister to know that I have been in the Civil Service for a long time. You do not always have to award a tender to the lowest bidder. For example, if you know that the cost of a ball point pen is Kshs10, and the lowest bidder has quoted Kshs1, you do not just give the tender to the lowest bidder. In the tendering process, there are two kinds of evaluations, namely financial and technical. So, you do not just consider the financial one. You must also look at the technical aspect. So, you cannot come here and tell us that because a contractor was the lowest bidder, you were bound to award the tender to him. Those two evaluations must go hand-in-hand. That is the procurement regulation."
