    "content": "If there are any local materials that can be produced here, we need to look at the local content aspect. I hope that when it comes to the issue of the regulations, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) with directorate developing those regulations will enhance and pay key attention to the issue of local content. This is not a situation whereby one size fits all. All counties are different. Narok County might be interested in a particular project. If it is a highway they want to construct, Narok County can donate land. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not say that I support this Bill fully. I hope that the Committee will bring a few amendments. The Committee recommends that we pass it, but with amendments so that we ensure the public does not end up being conned by these so-called international businessmen who come here mostly in a briefcase and say they have connections all over. They tell the governor just pay us about Kshs10 million, come to Dubai and let us sign this contract. Once we sign this contract, we will be given money by these financers. We have to be very careful. My problem is that if we do away with all the bureaucratic steps where it becomes difficult and we make the procurement process much easier. We have to ask ourselves. Is this direct or restricted procurement going to cause more problems? Why not open it and make it an open-tender system such that anyone around the world does not need to know me for them to sign a PPP with Narok County."
