    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we used to experience that problem until January this year. We made sure that no contractor is overloaded with contracts. But we are still challenged August 8, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3017 on the issue of procurement. We have the relevant Procurement Act, which enables the suppliers to go to the Appeals Board. Every time we issue orders worth millions of shillings, for example, for transformers, meters and so on, if some contractors do not win those contracts, they proceed to the Appeals Board. That means we start the procurement process again. That takes us another 30 or 60 days. We have been handicapped. We are not moving because of the supply of materials. This House could strengthen those rules so that we do not experience those appeals. It is not only affecting the Ministry of Energy. Other Ministries are also suffering. So, what the House is asking us to do is what it can correct!"
