    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Ministry sought permission from the Director of Public Procurement Oversight Authority. He wrote a letter advising them not to use certain procedures. They went ahead and used the same. The Director of Public Procurement Oversight Authority asked, if, indeed, their intention was not to use what is clearly provided for in the Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2005, why were they notifying that department. The query has not been answered. This process was concluded without adherence to the regulations. As I said, there was no lawyer or valuation. The only valuation that was done during that time was the one done in 2007. Subsequently, there were other price indications. If a property was costing Kshs600 million in 2007 and each year the price has been appreciating at 16 per cent, the value of that property--- When we told the vendor that this has happened and asked him to take back his property, he said he could only offer about Kshs450 million. This is the case and yet we paid Kshs1, 750,000,000. Today, the exchange rate of the Yen and Kenyan shilling is almost equivalent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what we found was very interesting. The Ministry formed a small audit team. First of all, when the Minister appeared before us, he said that this agreement was signed by Amb. Awori. Amb. Awori appeared before the Committee on 17th Century when the Ministry said that he signed an agreement in Tokyo---"
