Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank the Senate for these amendments, especially on Clause 124 on evaluation of tenders by public entities. This will ensure that all the entities that have applied to participate in a tender process are capable and will be able to do a good job. I just want to point out that in most public expenditure, procurement is taking a lot of money. If not well evaluated, public resources will be put into waste. I also want to point out the issue of reservations, especially for the counties. In Nandi ...

in the counties. So, by allocating 20 per cent to the entities within the county, it means that the funds shall remain within that particular county. It will also mean that the tenderers within that county will have gained experience, especially in procuring and participating in ensuring that resources remain in their county. I also want to point out that in Clause 176 the Senate tried to ensure that there is some control and penalty for individuals who are found to have engaged in professional misconduct. In cases where a body has launched a complaint, a penalty is imposed on ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report on the following grounds: One, to construct the pipeline is very important for our economy and the economy of the region. Kenya is a regional hub when it comes to industrial and manufacturing sectors. Petroleum products are very essential and the delivery of those products to the intended users - the factories and the general usage in the country is very important. Zakhem International Construction Corporation Limited bided and constructed the first pipeline in 1973. It is a credit to them. That pipeline has been in existence for a ...

especially the extension and renewing the whole system will ensure that petroleum products are delivered on time. There will be less spillage and wastage on the line. It will also ensure that our roads will not be destroyed by the heavy petroleum tankers. I want to thank the company and the initiators of this project because one of the serious road destroyers in this country are the oil tankers. It has cost a lot of lives through accidents. I remember a few days ago, the Nairobi County Government decided to divert most of those lorries from the Central Business District ...

that the first phase was to be paid by TSC in 1997 as agreed. However, four phases were not paid. The four phases ought to have been paid in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The Minister, in Legislative Supplement No.62 of 24th September 2002, revoked the remuneration of the teachers’ order of 1997. Actually, that went against the rule of natural justice because the Teachers Service Commission had actually agreed to pay. On the 21st February, 2003, in a Legislative Supplement No. 10 and after renegotiation with the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), the Minister reinstated the Principal Order ...
