    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, this game is very interesting in that sometimes there are projects which are done in lots. When you calculate the lots, you end up seeing that over 70 per cent of those lots--- These are projects worth Kshs100 million. When will our contractors grow if they have to compete with foreigners in contracts that are worth Kshs100 million? This is the case yet foreign contractors do not have to borrow from our banks that charge very high interest rates; foreign contractors whose governments are giving them concessional loans and sometimes even free loans. How do you expect our local contractors to compete? I think it is irresponsible on our part as a nation to expose our contractors to that kind of competition."
