As a proactive House, and as this debate continues, we give you an opportunity to receive documents officially. You can still take over these documents and start discussing them.

• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the extension of the Committee. It is a matter we discussed in the House Business Committee and agreed that there is need to extend the life of this Committee, at least, to ensure that they give us a report and hopefully, we can come up with a generally acceptable definition of who an IDP is.

The evaluation of the technical bids was done and only two firms namely, M/s Japan Port Consultant and Royal Haskoning Netherlands obtained the minimum technical score of 80 percent. Accordingly, the financial bids of the four firms, which did not obtain the ... view
