    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The first proposed amendment attempts to cure the lacuna that would exist with the use of the word “less than”. The word here is “less than”, which would imply that the exact amount of Ksh1 billion does not fall within the ambit of a local firm or a foreign firm. The second part proposes to clarify that the offence relates to a foreigner exhibiting unfair competition. We all agree that sometimes the issues of unfair competition arising from tenders where able and well-resourced foreign companies elbow out the local companies because of such ambiguity and lack of clarity like in this Bill or the Act as currently is. This particular part seeks to clarify that the offence is an offence that relates to a foreigner exhibiting such unfair competition to the detriment of the local contractors, or local business people. I support."
