    "content": "My plea even as we approve these Regulations is that we must put in place a mechanism to ensure that those who continue to flagrantly abuse these procedures are held to account. We have seen people turn into billionaires within a span of five to seven years in the counties. It is not a question of millionaires. It is now a question of billionaires. Moreover, if you look at it critically, you will find that these are people who have not laboured to amass the kind of wealth they have amassed within such a short time. It is simply a question of people who have abused the procurement rules and guidelines to enrich themselves at the expense of ordinary Kenyans who continue to pay taxes. Therefore, even as this House adopts these Regulations, it must do introspection. What can we do, as a House, to empower those who are charged with the responsibility of investigating and prosecuting these abuses to do their work without fear or favour? That is the question I want to leave this House with. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
