"content": "However, all these things are done on a competitive basis. Even before we came to the Ministry, this contract had been awarded. It is a matter that concerns my Ministry and that of Public Works. I believe there is an elaborate procedure. The problem I have with these contracts is that there is inordinate delay in the award of contracts. This makes the contracts take so much time. If we can cut on bureaucracy in Government--- I wish we could, for example, say, this and that contract from Mt. Elgon should be executed by this and that time. These works ought to have been completed by now. However, you find that the procurement itself takes a whole year. It is one of the issues that I would like Parliament to look into. We need to look at the building regulations and see whether we can recommend shorter periods within which matters are adjudicated upon and contractors move on site in order to deliver service to this country."
