    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute in such an important function of this House, the function of budgeting and resource allocation to various ministries, departments and agencies of the Government, which is our sole mandate here. There are some issues that I would like to touch. One of them is Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO), a programme started by my President, His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, with a very good intention to uplift the lives of the vulnerable members of our society. It means access to government procurement opportunities by persons with disabilities, youth and women. This stands at 30 per cent of all contracts that are given out by the Government that should be given to this group. Persons with disability have been marginalised within the marginalised groups. This is because when issuing those contracts to the three groups, they have been able to give 25 per cent because women have the backing of their husbands. Youth are faster than persons with disability and so they end up having 4.5 per cent. What remains for persons with disability is 0.5 per cent."
