    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. (Dr.) Ali, thank you for accepting to be informed. I would like to inform Sen. (Dr.) Ali and Members that in 2015 we brought amendments to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act. We pushed hard to get the amendments done. They said two things: One, for the PWDs – I would like the petitioner, Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko to hear – the youth and the women who get contracts, the contracting or procuring entity, whether it is a county government, any State agency or the national Government, must only pay into an account where the mandatory signatory is a member of that group; a youth, a woman or PWDs. Two, it also states that in every six months the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority shall bring to this House a report on - to the Committee in charge of equalisation, chaired by Sen. Shiyonga - a list of all the procuring entities; all the counties and Ministries, showing how many contracts they have given the youth, women and PWDs, Maybe with that information, you can appeal to the Committee to ask where the report has been for the life of the 12th Parliament. It has never come even once. Then we can see whether Wajir, Nairobi and Makueni are giving contracts to PWDs and have a list of shame. That information could be useful to you."
