    "content": "to thank our colleagues from the other side for joining us in fulfilling some of these pledges that we made. Hon. Speaker, I would want to concur with the Senate that this is the beginning of working together. I fully concur with all the amendments that were made by our sister House, the Senate and I think this is the beginning of the good things that we are going to see. Hon. Speaker, I would also want to thank my very good friend, hon. Sakaja who is the chairman of the most popular party in Kenya, The National Alliance (TNA) for coming up with the amendments to the Public Procurement Act which of course will give the youth and the women 30 per cent. We would want that to trickle down to the local level. We also want to see our county assemblies effecting the same Bill so that at least our youths down there are able to access credit facilities. Hon. Speaker, some of us who are in urban areas are lucky to access funds from our banks but our youth and women down there do not have that capacity. Some of us have had a very hard time when we go back to our constituencies because the first question we are asked is: “Where is Uwezo?” I am very happy that next weekend I will be heading to my constituency ready and willing to disburse this money. Hon. Speaker, I again support it fully. Thank you."
