    "content": "(b) in paragraph (d), by inserting the words “specific items of” immediately before the word “security”; (c) inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (d) – (da) to monitor the implementation of the preference and reservation schemes by procuring entities; (d) deleting paragraph (h); (e) inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (k)— “(ka) to monitor and evaluate the preference and reservations provided for under this Act and provide quarterly public reports.” (f) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (p)— “(pa) to ensure the procurement entities implement the preference and reservations and provide data to the Authority disaggregated to indicate the number of disadvantaged groups that have benefitted”; Clause 9 deals with the functions of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). One of the amendments there is to clean up the Bill. Two, the Board is supposed to give a report to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of the National Treasury in terms of how the procurement system works. The Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade felt that they should also give the report and recommendations both to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Treasury and the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) in charge of treasury or finance at the county level. This is because the CECM will also be monitoring their procurement at that level. We are bringing in the issue of the CECMs in that amendment so that they can advise the county governments in terms of the procurement system at the county level."
