Lawyers in the schools laptop case
Monday differed over the controversial Sh1.4 billion addition to the
final price quoted by Indian IT firm.
Olive
Telecommunications’ lawyers told High Court that the Public Procurement
Administrative Review Board declared the Sh1.4 billion additional
services the Indian firm quoted illegal, arguing that all bidders had
charged additional services which have not been questioned.
But
American IT company Hewlett Packard (HP) and China’s Haier Group
lawyers claimed that the additional amount was never disclosed at the
opening of the bids, and that the tender was illegally altered after the
process were completed.
The lawyers were presenting in
hearing of suit challenging the decision by PPARB in March which
revoked the award of the supply of Sh24.5 billion laptops tender to
Olive.
