For me the bad thing about Sundale is to align themselves with the disadvantaged groups and maybe being related to Muthamaki.(Its Morally wrong).
On the other hand I would also wish to point out that maybe few women disadvantaged or otherwise would have been able to service the orders given the capital outlay required.
Theft will be if no goods were delivered.
About payments on same day when order is done,let me say from my little interaction with government suppliers,there is usually a mad rush on the last day of the financial year before unused funds are returned.Nothing new there.Even small orders of toners worth 120k will be treated the same way.Poor working system of the government department plus ukora hapa na pale.
You have hit the nail on the head Bigchick
I remembered a quote a read somewhere
"the biggest trick that the devil has played is convincing people he does not exist".I was recently asked to tender for one of these things then I saw the requirements.
Of course the Women, Youth and Disabled registered at the Ministry of something was the top one.
Now reading the technical part was an eye opener. There was no way they were going to get anyone to do the job they wanted. Absolutely no way.
I was told not to worry about little details.
Then it occured to me. The trick is simple
Invite proposals from the so called "disadvantaged" groups. There must be a quota or something.
The guy creating the tender knows very well that few if anyone would qualify for such a tender.
Go create a company or buy one of those shelf companies you can get from brokers.
Get a few fellows to sign off as your employees or consultants
Send your proposal and yours will be one of the few if any that can even get the technical requirements.
And walla a company named Everlasting Spirits of Joy wins the tender.
The corruption does not start at the buying or selling of services, it starts from the fellows creating the tender documents.
Just look at the names of the people who got the tenders in the documents on this thread and tell me how any of them qualifies to be disadvantaged.
Corruption is a cartel.
It starts from the meeting about needing service X, to the creation of the tender documents, to the delivery of mobile clinics that have been immobile for 1 year and have no hope of ever being mobile.
Ask Kabura.
Thieves are not good people. Tumeelewana?
