    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support these Regulations. Procurement and disposal of public property is a very major thing in the country. All the budget that we approve ends up in the national Government and the counties. At one point or another, there has to be procurement of all the Government is buying at the national and county levels. The law which has been there is very good, but has been lacking in terms of Regulations which have to be made under this Act. Now that the Regulations have come forth, they are very good and they seek to regulate the process of procurement and disposal of public property. There have been challenges in the last five years since the county governments started. A lot of people have done tendering. The tenders have been guided in a way or another. The person to procure or to do the work is predetermined. These Regulations seek to make sure that, as much as possible, there is control and the law is followed when it comes to procuring and disposal of public property on whatever job is done for the Government at national and county levels. One of the biggest problems has been pending bills. One of the biggest issues, especially in the counties, is that people who have worked for the counties have not had their work verified.
