    "content": "This is seeking to cure, if you read what is provided for in the Bill in clause 6A, that any procurement of less than Ksh1 billion shall be awarded to a local firm. The simple understanding of this would be any procurement of less than Ksh1 billion, which would mean that 1 billion shillings will not be included as the amount that is mandatory to be awarded to a local firm. So, this is providing clarity by saying that all procurements up to Ksh1 billion shillings. Ksh1 billion will be included as the amount that qualifies for a local firm so that there is no ambiguity. Otherwise, you will have tenders being quoted at Ksh1 billion and saying that local contracts cannot qualify because the law talks about below Ksh1 billion. This is to make sure that Ksh1 billion is included as a threshold or a requirement for tenders that should be solely be one or reserved for local firms. The other one, as I said, is to provide clarity and to correct a grammatical error in the drafting."
