    "content": "One of the better ways to do so it to ensure that the procurement processes which is a big driver of inefficiencies a big guzzler of our resources is looked at and amendments made in that sense. Maybe because I am the Vice Chairperson of the Committee for ICT I also look at things from that angle. I look at opportunities that could be seized both for fighting corruption, saving resources, time and for even doing things much faster, better and within budget by using digital technology. I feel if we are amending a Bill at this late stage in 2022, perhaps that should feature prominently in this Bill. With those few remarks Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to belabour it. I have looked at it from the lens of participation and inclusion of youth, women and people with disabilities, from the digital and e-procurement perspective. Again, as a Senator, I have looked at it from the angle of devolution and devolved units. I think we need to do a bit more work to make sure that this amendment is fit for purpose. I support."
