    "content": "THAT, Clause 47 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new subclause immediately after Subclause (2)— “(3) The Cabinet Secretary shall make regulations for the better carrying out of this section in respect to low value procurement.” Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, that clause says that a procurement function shall be handled by a procurement professional whose qualifications are recognised in Kenya. What the Departmental Committee felt is that the Cabinet Secretary shall make regulations in terms of exemptions. We said that it will be handled by professionals recognised in Kenya. However, we are saying that when we come to a situation where, for instance, our local primary schools in Kisii, Kericho or Lodwar are unable to hire professionals, the Cabinet Secretary should have power to make regulations and say that they can appoint head teachers to undertake the procurement function under such exceptional circumstances."
