    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not need the information. You should give him his chance to contribute and then he can give that information. We should accept this proposal and allow Dr. Ojiambo to introduce this Bill. As hon. Members have said, this is long over-due. We all know that supplies departments are the most corrupt departments in this country. If we have to fight corruption, we have to streamline the supplies departments. We should have some guidelines for the practitioners. If you go to Kirinyaga Road, you will find very many supplies officers who are supplying the Government with various items. They are doing their business haphazardly. We have trained supplies management practitioners, but we should have some procedures for them to follow. This is a simple Motion. Even before a private Member thought of bringing this Motion to the House, the Ministry should have brought it long time ago. They should thank God that Dr. Ojiambo thought about that. I want to support this Motion. The House Business Committee (HBC) should prioritise it so that we can move on. The Government should be serious in fighting corruption. All over the world, Kenya is rated as one of the most corrupt countries. Everybody knows that! If we have to assist the Government in the fight against corruption, which is rampant everywhere, we must participate. The menace of corruption is shaming us everywhere! We are being rated in the same category as Nigerians! We should be ashamed of that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the Assistant Minister goes to his own home district--- Who are the people who collude with the Government when tenders are being opened? It is the supplies officers. The Assistant Minister knows that for a fact!"
