"content": "government or Ministry”, which is opening a way for brokers. There are some people I know who sit somewhere in some hotels who are known to unlock pending bills. They walk around with brown envelopes. You tell them where your payment is stuck, he knows the Director of Finance and the accountants, they will spend some money but you will have to give them a kickback. How are we helping the private sector and businesses, if the biggest procurer of anything is the Government? The Government is the biggest consumer of all goods; whether it is milk, the biggest consumer is the Government, by the military. Whether it is being a contractor, the biggest client you can have is the Government. The Government is constructing roads and buildings. In the earlier Motion, I said that the industry - I must put a disclaimer because I am in many industries, on that specific one - I have never and I have refused to accept to do business with Government, not just because they do not pay but because it will look like a conflict of interest. I am on record that I have never accepted even one client to use any of my sites across the country because I am privileged. I want to give another disclaimer that even when I brought the 30 per cent procurement law while still a youth, I was 30 years when the law passed in 2015. Even then, I never got an Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) certificate, for any of my businesses."
