Energy and Communication Committee Chairman Jamleck Kamau
Members of the National assembly have questioned the tendering process in which Safaricom was awarded a 14.9 billion shillings tender to install a security surveillance system.
Energy and Communication Committee is demanding that ICT cabinet secretary Fred Matiangi provide procurement details of the proposed Integrated Public Safety Communication and Surveillance System.
Nicholas Gumbo, John Mbadi and Vincent Musau asked the government to explain why Safaricom was awarded the tender through single-sourcing contrary to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act.
The multibillion deal awarded to Safaricom was supposed to install a security surveillance system and communication equipment to boost the fight against terror in the country.
