• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this included solicitation where officers of one of the bidders sought to have discussions with some of our officers and obviously, this is not allowed. On what has been done, we are working with the Procurement Oversight Authority. As I said, the tender was cancelled and fresh bidding ordered. The fresh bids are now under evaluation. Normally, a technical team looks at the technical evaluation and then takes the matter to the board of the institution. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these companies were Japan Export Vehicle Inspection Centre (JEVIC) Quality Inspection Services, Bureau Veritas, Auto Termini Services of Japan and East African Auto. As to the particulars of the company, I am not sure whether the Questioner is asking for the registration details, the size of the company view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the mechanism available to us is clear instructions to the board of directors as to the work we expect carried out, and how that work is to be carried out. This board has been properly and clearly directed by the Ministry. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you know, in the normal procurement and the way bidding takes place, during the bidding process, if one of the bidders, for example, seeks a clarification, we inform everybody and if that clarification were to necessitate an extension of the bidding period, then the procuring authority would typically do so. These are the sorts of things that happened in this bidding process. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: However, as we have from the outset explained, the KEBS, as you know, is under scrutiny all the time. There are lucrative contracts and many allegations from time to time; therefore, we as the Ministry have to be very watchful and careful at each step. So, we found that two extensions appeared to be too many. We, really, said, let this process be done again and let it be done under the watchful eye of ourselves, and of the oversight authority to ensure that we get quality services for Kenyans. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir! And no amount of intimidation including from the Leader of Government Business--- view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir! This is a House of gentlemen and not hecklers! However, passionate you feel about this, you must give me time to be heard! view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, is it really in order for the Leader of Government Business to try to intimidate me not to rise on a point of order? With regard to personal interest, is it not in order for all of us in this House, who wish to speak on this matter, to declare, for example, if we have outstanding corruption cases, which five people are expected to adjudicate on? How can we be sitting here and contributing to this Motion? Is that not a very serious conflict of interest? view
• 15 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr., Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas I agree it is quite in order for hon. Muthama to be speaking in such passion in defense of a specific position, is it really in order for the hon. Muthama to disparage an hon. Member in this House? He is heaping insults on hon. Members and on the Chair of the Committee! Is it in order? Hon. Muthama should, in all fairness, withdraw, apologize and be contrite for his intransigency. view
