    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I share the concerns of the hon. Member in this House because it is really unfair for a vehicle to take two years to repair. My investigation of this matter has demonstrated a problem, not with the personnel, but with our procurement systems. I am happy to inform the hon. Member that since the quotation for repair was Kshs747,000, this required approval by the Ministerial Tender Committee under the procurement regulations. I have been aware for sometime of the shortcomings of these regulations and law and it is not fair at this point to assign responsibility to individuals in the Ministry. We have faced enormous challenges in having to keep up with these regulations. I admit that there has been delay and it is very unfortunate. But, if I were to give the details of what has happened, you would be surprised. The problem is the procurement system that we have under the law."
