    "content": "opportunities for youth, women and persons with disability`, which report shall contain details of the procuring entities and how they have complied with the provisions of this section. (c) by renumbering the existing subclause (10) as subclause (15). Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairmen, the intention of these amendments is to ensure, first of all, at this point that the youth, women and people with disability are able to access 30 per cent procurement preferences as decreed by Government. Specifically, I will go to the sub-clause which states that we want to insert the word “spend” after the word “procurement” and the words “women and persons with disabilities” after the word “youth” so that it is not just 30 per cent contracts of procurement but 30 per cent of the value, and so that if a procurement entity is getting Kshs100 billion, Kshs30 billion must be for the youth, women and people with disability. Clause 3 (b) is to ensure that if any procuring entity pays out money to an enterprise owned by youth, women or people with disability, that money is spread out to an account where the mandatory signatory is a youth, or a woman or a person with disability, as the case may be to prevent the mischief where you find some unscrupulous business people are registering businesses on behalf of young people, but they are the only ones who are benefitting. Therefore, any money paid out to these companies, the procuring entity must ensure that the account into which they are paying the money is controlled by the desired group, be it the youth, women or persons living with disability. Sub-clause (11) is to make sure that we monitor. The Chair will realize that we might have a good legislation, but if there is no monitoring and evaluation, young people, the women and the people with disability may not benefit from these provisions."
