tabled a status Report and a progress Report was tabled and approved by you on 27th February 2020.

Let us not dwell on anything else because I want my colleagues to hear me and appreciate what was entailed in doing this Report. I remember one of the first things that triggered this was when the CEO misled this Committee. I remember at that time the current Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning asked the simple question. You are looking at bringing other players into this industry. He said this is not a tender, but a prequalification. Hon. Gladys Wanga will bear me witness on those words. Other Members here realised things that the Auditor-General ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is an official document tabled in the House. It forms part of this Report. This is a document from KEBS and not us. This Reports says that the due diligence team recommends that KEBS enter into a contract with so and so. The team also found that EAA lacks the requisite infrastructure in the UK and UAE. In addition, it presented forged and falsified documents in their tender bidding which enabled to erroneously attain minimal technical scope for advancement of financial evaluation. Do not listen to me. Do not listen to the Attorney-General. Do not ...

Hon. Speaker, I am trying to press it, but it seems like it is not working. First and foremost, there have been a lot of issues that have been talked about. I am not saying that they are misleading, but I want to state that they are on a misinformed position. One of the issues that had been raised was about these regulations that were done…

Hon. Speaker, the recommendation of Hon. Kaluma is a simple issue. We feel that there is nothing wrong in identifying the areas of possible litigation. However, what he is talking about, and this is something you have given guidance on, is to delete the words: EACC to report back. That is something acceptable to all the Members who are currently here. I believe there is nothing wrong with that. All we are asking for is that, as a Committee, we want to deliberate and finalise on this matter because we cannot have too many reports. As active as we are, ...

Hon. Speaker, I heard him and he is misinformed. He is saying that we have raised matters that have materially altered the Report. I think Hon. Kamket has not read that Report. What we have done has not done that. This is a matter that today--- Hon. Speaker, correct me for following your lead on this issue. These were minor changes. They cannot change the substance of this Report. Today, Hon Kajwang’ was kind enough to raise this matter. It seems Hon. Kamket has sat on the seat of Hon. Kajwang’ to raise an issue for him. I believe he ...
