    "content": "I also want to comment on the issue of local contractors being brought on board. This is an issue that has been brought in one of our Bills in the Senate, whose proponent is Sen. Gideon Moi who talked about the Local Content Bill, that the procurement process should consider the locals instead of going for big multinational companies, giving them a chance and yet we also want our people to be employed. Therefore, this Bill is going to be a win-win situation for us as a country in the sense that the locals will have an opportunity to be economically empowered. The youth, women and persons with disabilities will also have a chance because if this Bill is going to target local organizations that are registered in Kenya then it would mean that any multinational company wanting also to tender in Kenya must ensure that the locals are part of that organization and maybe three-quarter are also locals. I support this Bill. This is a Bill that we must all support to ensure that the procurement process is going on well in all organizations because there is no organization that can survive without the procurement department. It is an important department which should be streamlined and which should be very impartial in the manner in which it operates. I support this Bill."
