    "content": " Thank you, Hon Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the National Construction Authority (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.59 of 2022) be now read a Second Time. The Procurement and Disposal Bill was brought here by Hon. Sakaja, now the Governor of Nairobi, to actualise and legalise the 30 per cent procurement issue related to the special groups; women, youth and people living with disability. We appreciate that law which requires every Government procurement entity to set aside 30 per cent of their procurement under the procurement plan to these very vulnerable and special groups. To that effect, in the 11th Parliament, that was actualised and the Bill was passed. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the essence of that Bill was to help these very special groups to participate actively in economic development at their level. To be honest, these groups might not have the financial capacity and equipment to participate in economic development effectively. We became quite happy with the passage of that Bill to become an Act or law. Of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
