    "content": "When you come now with your Lunga Lunga to Kiunga Road construction project and you have done all your numbers, you are told that under the law, we need to advertise it. Your project is then used to compete with other people who have not even invested in it. Knowing the seepage or leakage of information that we have, your data is used by your competitors and before you know it, your project is given to somebody else. We want to have this situation where you can come up with an innovative project which can help the public in a certain way. For example, you want to construct a road in Kipipiri Constituency which you believe you can do and you are allowed to do it. You agree with the Government on when it can happen. I am paid my money and the public gets their full benefit. There are many county governments that do not have hospitals and headquarters. All we need is to get a local landlord to construct the county headquarters or a hospital and then lease it to the county government. We will get immediate benefit. They will pay on a monthly basis. They do not have to tie billions in capital expenditure. All they need is the delivery of services. These are the kinds of things that we are looking at now. The demand for services is there, but we do not have money. That is the direct procurement that we will talk about."
