• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: When the same recommendation went to the inter-agency evaluation committee of the NCPB, the figure was changed from 20,000 metric tonnes to 40,000 metric tonnes without reference to the tendering process or to the committee. This is why you will realize that somewhere in between, the management of the NCPB made a very serious omission that has paralyzed and killed that very important organization that provides food security. The company did not have the financial capacity to import that maize. The company was again allocated an amount that was higher than what it had tendered for, and what it was ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: What is shocking is that this company was asked to avail the sources of the maize that it was to import. It provided a company called “Ropack International,” purportedly located in South Africa. From our preliminary investigations, that is a tyre manufacturing company. It is called “Ropack International South Africa”. They said that, that company dealt with maize importation or storage. I do not want to divulge more, but the information from one of the key investigating agencies is that, that was a tyre manufacturing company. Your guess is as good as mine now. What was the relationship between a ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, they also said that they would get their maize from Ethiopia; they gave the name of a company called “Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise”. We all live on planet earth. Ethiopia has never exported maize because it has never had enough. From the preliminary information that we have, that aspect was completely not true. view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: They gave another company called “Chelsea” as the company that provided freight services. From our own investigations, that company is non-existent.

• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: provided another company in Brazil which does not exist. You can see the chronology of events. This company applied yet it did not have the capacity; it interfered with the procurement procedures; the sources of their maize only existed somewhere else and not on planet earth, and we have confirmed that beyond reasonable doubt. The Ethiopian Grain Trade Enterprise is a State-owned corporation. That in itself is a serious criminal offence - they have used the name of a good company in a neighbouring country to justify their commission of crime. When we did not find the sources of their ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We had two individuals who appeared before the Committee and each was claiming to be the Managing Director. All this is in the HANSARD. We went ahead and interrogated the contract process. Permanent Secretary, Mr. Kinyua, advised against using the LCs which were anchored on something called “standby letter of credit,” and which is a facility provided by an international financially stable bank. Because they did not have any facility, these individuals purportedly decided to use a joint venture in the name of a company called “Kapu International;” it drafted a joint venture in order to prove that the company ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: did not attempt to find out about the existence of that document; the bank did not find out and M/s Erad Supplies and General Contracts Limited did not also make full disclosure that the fake bid bond was used to consummate that particular contract. When that was done, the second thing was how they signed the contract. They had that fake bid bond, and the second thing was how to get the performance bond. Hon. Speaker, Sir, these same individuals, instead of going back to I&M Bank, they went to another bank called Dubai Bank and they presented the contract, ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, for those of you who are familiar with the critical role this organization plays, all its bank accounts had been garnisheed as a result of a court order; M/s Erad Supplies and General Contracts Limited went to all the bank accounts of NCPB and garnisheed them. In the last two months, it has collected Kshs313 million. They also attached all their properties. In the last four years, the NCPB has been reduced to a shell. One and a half years ago, their annual business volume was almost Kshs5.2 billion. In the last one year, that has been ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Director. We had two individuals, each one of them claiming to be the Managing Director. We met the Management of the I &M Bank, the Kenya Commercial Bank, the office of the Attorney-General and the officers of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. One of the things that we learnt in the process of going through this was that there was an attempt to conceal this from the public, and even from the Government. All the individuals realised that there was, indeed, no maize; they did not meet the target and the Kenyan public was about to discover that the purported ... view
• 29 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The Member invoked this. Again, we felt as a Committee that we were duty bound to apply the law equally, notwithstanding the membership of hon. Waluke; he is a Member of Parliament and also of the Committee. Again we invoked the provisions of Standing Order No.184, which again says:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
