    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to add my voice to this debate and support the Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill. I am happy that hon. Sakaja has thought of this. I am, however, disappointed because while he ably presented the Bill, he also noted that there is need to include both persons with disability and women in this Bill. Therefore, I will be one of those people who will be engaging him, so that we can include other people who have previously not benefited from public procurement. I say this on a very serious note because even when he asked for somebody to second him, you will recall that his seconder was a very able hon. Member, hon. Ochieng, who has since left the Chamber. Provision of opportunities to the youth, women and persons with disabilities is an issue that we must consciously and continuously remain alive to. I would have been very happy if the Secretary-General of the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA) was actually a woman because I know that there are young women who fit into the category that they have in mind. One of them is seated next to him. The other one is seated behind him. You will see that even in the KYPA, the most important positions of the Chairperson and Secretary-General are occupied by one gender.
