    "content": "with and improvement in certain things such as fighting corruption, project implementation, timelines and things that are causing the problems in procurement sector are dealt with. A few years ago, not last year but years ago – with COVID-19 time passed so fast, I feel like I am saying last year when it means three years ago – over Kshs100 billion which was returned to the National Treasury from Ministries which were not able to absorb the funds in that particular financial year. The same thing is happening at our counties. What is this Bill doing to ensure that absorption and project implementation and reforms, both administrative and legal are dealt with in this Bill, in all Sections? I have seen many paragraphs deleting expressions such as things appearing, ‘subject to’. I do not know why I feel like substantial content or pain of our counties and our national Government, and substantial bottlenecks in our procurement processes and opportunities in E-government and E-procurement and in the internet-based solutions have not been built in this Bill. For that reason, while I support the Bill, some work needs to be done by this House which is mandated under Article 96 to ensure that devolved Governments are protected and that devolution starts working for the people."
