After many people, especially youth, women and the disabled decry being left out during the 2014/15 tendering process, the county government has called on willing individuals and groups to apply on time to help beat the last minute rush.
In a senior county officials executive meeting on Tuesday held at the county headquarters's boardroom chaired by Governor Kinuthia Mbugua and his deputy Joseph Ruto that brought together cabinet executives and chiefs of staff, it was agreed that tenders be allocated strictly to those that followed the IFMIS guidelines.
This, the governor said, was a government policy and can never be ignored irregardless of the inconveniences that mar the process.
"We have to operate under stipulated rules but still have to ensure that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, that is why we want any willing party applies for a tender on time so that our tendering committees gets the time of vetting all applicants to ensure that only the best qualified win the tenders," he said.
He revealed that tenders for all pending projects in the 2015/16 financial year are currently being uploaded on the IFMIS system and insisted on the importance of being the first to apply so as not to be caught in the network hitch experienced by the system during the last minute rush.
He assured the minority groups of their 30 per cent consideration saying that his dream was to have an all inclusive government where youth, women and persons living with disabilities will feel part of the system.
