    "content": "Section 157 is one that also captured my attention where foreign contractors, in order to increase the amount of citizen contractors and to prohibit sub-contracting of local procurement contracts to foreign contractors, when one wins a tender, they do not need to sub- contract a foreign contractor. It also captures the mandatory procurement of 40 per cent of goods and services and just an overview of the same. Basically, this Bill is timely and we support it. It is going to be radical and will empower Kenyans. I encourage Kenyans to be manufacturers and providers of locally produced goods and services. The opportunity has been handed over to us. This is a progressive Government. I want to, one more time, appreciate one of our mentors. For sure, he has been our mentor for most of us young Parliamentarians, Hon. Kimani Kuria. You have been a great person to us. Every time we come to you so that you can share with us a few tips here and there to be great persons in this Parliament."
