    "content": "Therefore, I support this Bill. I do not want to say much so as to allow others the opportunity to speak because the Mover spoke in great detail. I want to thank the Committee for having considered this Bill and seen the need to have a Bill that protects our local entrepreneurs. It ensures that we are not giving all Government contracts and tenders to outsiders, but we are also encouraging our own people and our entrepreneurs and industry to grow by giving them jobs in Government. The greatest spender of resources is Government. For enterprises and industries to grow in this country, it must be grown by Government in spending. If we are to manage our foreign exchange reserves and foreign exchange rate, we have to ensure that we stop what has been going on, where some contracts are given to foreigners and the people financing them insist on paying them outside this country and we end up expatriating a lot of our money."
