Thank you Dr. Victor Kyalo, we are keen to have the questions answered viz. 1. An ICTA board member led the committee that performed due diligence on the verification of the technical evaluation. Can you share the findings? 2.The negotiation committee was chaired by an ICTA board member. Were tender documents leaked to Olive as claimed by HP and Haier? Why was the tender price inflated from $ 268,899,669 to $ 284,899,669? Does BOFA go down or up? 3. As the principle advisor of matters ICT to GoK, has ICTA given the government the best advice on how to tackle the primary school computerisation pledge? 4. We spent taxpayers money to send people to India/China. Did the team that went to India/China find a factory with the capacity to manufacture thousands of laptops, or were they entertained and asked to look the other way? 5. Is the government committed to the laptop project or is all this fiasco stage managed? ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya twitter.com/lordmwesh On 18 March 2014 08:30, Phyllis Nyambura <[email protected]> wrote:

Colleagues,

Do note the below response from the ICT Authority, Ag CEO, Victor Kyalo. We thank you for your patience.

Listers,

I have followed keenly to discussions surrounding the cancellation of the laptop tender by the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board.

While I would like to comment on some of the issues, it will not be prudent for me to do so now when the matter is being looked into by the relevant authorities.

In the meantime, I would like to leave comments on the issue to the procuring entity.

I will in due course respond as to our/my role at the appropriate time as demanded by some listers.

Victor Kyalo Ag, CEO, ICT Authority
