    "content": "Thank you very much hon. Speaker. I beg to move that the Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill, National Assembly Bill No. 31 of 2013 be now read a Second Time. I am well aware that the House has provided for this morning that a Mover of a Bill can speak for a maximum of 45 minutes. I would like to assure the House that I will not take 45 minutes, because this is a matter that I am sure that many Members would like to contribute to. The purpose of this Bill, if Members have received or collected a copy from the Table Room, really is to make necessary amendments to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, 2005, so as to ensure that, at least 30 per cent of the annual procurement and that is annual value of procurement by all public entities is allocated to the youth in accordance with such conditions as the relevant Cabinet Secretary may provide. This Bill is really giving to effect the provisions of our Constitution in Article 55, that states that, “The State shall take measures, including affirmative action, programmes, to ensure that the youth - (a) access relevant education and training; (b) have opportunities to associate, be represented and participate in political social, economic and other spheres of life; (c) access employment; and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
