Hon. Speaker, the issue here is this: I had a dissenting issue. I was here. We have met Members and they will bear me witness. I said that there must be consistency in terms of the logical flow and I want to demonstrate this. It is not anything to do with tribe, with due respect. I am guided that he has withdrawn that bit.

He should apologize, hon. Speaker because he should not take these things for granted. I am a national leader!

I am a national leader and my constituency is cosmopolitan. As a matter of fact, I come from Rift Valley where the NCPB is a critical thing. You cannot allow people--- We did the investigations very well but, when it came to the report, you sneaked in some things which I am not part of. I want the HANSARD to be produced to show where I said that I am celebrating this report as the best report ever. If not, we should name the Chairman. Hon. Speaker, as I move, the retreat was for report writing and not for adoption. ...

The other issue has to do with the Inspectorate of State Corporations. It appeared before us. I was very keen. He said that he is going to table a report here because a lot of investigations have been carried out. When I look at the Report from the Inspectorate of State Corporations, the annex is missing. I want to discuss things to do with procurement. This is highlighted in the Public Procurement and Disposal Act.

No! No! It is not a must that it should be the same bank.

It is not a must that it should be the same bank. The bid bond and the performance bond are two totally different things. There is nowhere in the law where it is indicated that you must go to the same bank that gave you the bid bond in order to get the performance bond. The two are totally different things. We have the minutes here in terms of the technical evaluation. This report says that there was no evaluation that was done.

Hon. Speaker, when you look at the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, there are two types of evaluation. We have the technical evaluation and the financial evaluation. It does not guarantee you that if you are the lowest bidder, you should be given the contract. The technical evaluation is the one which is a pre-requisite. We have the technical evaluation here as an annex. If you allow me, hon. Speaker, I want to go to that annex so that we share. If you look at the technical propose which was out of 60, you will find that Hala General Trading ...
