    "content": "I have been \"robbed\" of the person who was going to second my Motion! I hope that there will be somebody else to do the same. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, collusive tendering happens because we have just a few firms, which can agree amongst themselves to bid at certain amounts of money for certain contracts. Consequently, the Kenyan taxpayer is forced to pay more for services which would otherwise be very cheap. That is why the cost of constructing a kilometre of road is so high in Kenya as compared to what it is in other countries. There is also predatory pricing. We also know that if suppliers own a large share of the market they can actually refuse to supply. They can discriminate. We know, for instance, that the number of distributor companies will only buy from certain firms which are owned by members of their own ethnic community. We also know that there are some firms which will only supply to companies owned by members of their own ethnic communities, which is discrimination against other Kenyans."
