• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, is it in order for my good friend, Hon. Tuitoek, to read written materials on the Floor of the House? view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you. This is a good proposed amendment by my Member for Busia County. Unfortunately, there is a bit of concern. Animal and crop products are defined in the Crops Act. If I am wrong, I need correction. Animal and crop products are also defined in the Livestock and Fisheries Act. You cannot define them without making reference to those particular Acts. Secondly, there are ongoing developments of crop regulations that have a completely different approach to dealing with crop and food products. Probably, it will be in order for the Committee to apprise the House ... view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, allow me to weigh in on this matter on two issues. One, the Chair needs to explain further whether there is a different training curriculum of the procurement cadre at the national Government level and the county governments’ level and if the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act segregates them. That is a very important explanation because the proposed amendment in (l b) is just a repetition, word for word, other than the change of the word from the “national Government” to the “county government”. view

• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to weigh in and I hope the Chair of the Committee will give us guidance. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: My view and my understanding is that the Authority is not a procurement entity. The Authority is merely an advisory body that also deals with complaints and issues, gives guidelines, sets a framework and the rest. In my limited understanding of the workings of Government, the National Treasury is the ultimate procurement entity. So, it is obviously in good order.It follows without doubt that they should maintain the portal that deals with procurement. That is my understanding. I hope the Chair of the Committee and the veterans from the Ministry will help us understand the workings of the Ministry but ... view

• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not stand to oppose or otherwise. I am just curious to know how the Review Board determines what claim is frivolous and vexatious. What are the standards? Do they have the mandate in law to determine what is frivolous and vexatious?

There is a possibility of abuse of that particular sub-clause by the members of the Review Board simply dismissing an applicant offhand on account that this is frivolous and vexatious. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the amendment by Hon. Millie Odhiambo because ordinarily, it is impossible to evaluate thousands of tender documents within seven days unless the initiator of the amendments had other intentions altogether in contract fixing. I am even apprehensive that 14 days is not possible, but we can go with it so that we push the procurement entity to hastily evaluate and inform the participants. view
