    "content": "young entrepreneurs, so that they can invest and get something small. Unfortunately, for a long period of time, this system has been used by a few individuals to benefit themselves rather than achieving the intended goals set out when the parent legislation of 2015 was passed by this House. What is more interesting about this Bill is that it comes at the backdrop of the recent speech by the President, particularly in admonishing the National Treasury for failing to implement the e-procurement system for the last 10 years. As I said yesterday, the intention of this Bill is to fight corruption, and this House has an obligation to assist the President of this Republic in this fight. How do we do it? We must be able to check the Executive without fear of intimidation. The only way we can do that is through robust oversight. The President is working hard to transform this country, but as a House we must check certain offices in the Executive so that we can assist him in fighting corruption."
