    "content": "completed, we audit it and see whether it meets the requirements of the different engineering standards for different projects. It is also very important that we ensure timely payments of our contractors. One of the reasons that contractors give for overcharging or why projects in this country are expensive is that once they do any piece of work, they are not very sure when or if they will ever be paid. It is very important that we also ensure that there is timely payment of contractors and that in every project, there is an audit to ensure that we get value for money. As we fight corruption and wastage, it is very important that we put in place regulations such as these ones to ensure that the public gets value for money for each shilling. Hon. Temporary Speaker, in this country we normally say that we only get about 60 cents value for every shilling spent. In these new regulations we must get, at least, 80 cents if not 100 per cent of every shilling that we spent. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support."
