    "content": "I look at the youth from the perspective that this is also where you have the SMEs. The SMEs are known to contribute 70 per cent of the economic development of a young nation like Kenya in the form of employment, income generation and economic balance across the entire nation. Further to this, I have also talked to Sakaja because professionals in this country have a big issue with the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, particularly Section 5, which states that in case of conflict between this law and any other statute on matters of procurement, then this law prevails. The problem that the professionals have had with this law is the fact that professionals provide and supply services of intellectual nature and they are regulated. They have remuneration orders. Immediately the Public Procurement and Disposal Act ignores this fundamental fact, then it introduces unhealthy competition among the professionals."
