    "content": "I was talking of the need to simplify procurement rules. This will help us in the ease of making business. Partially or at a large extent, this procurement rules, the way they are now are actually the cause of low absorption of funds, both at the national and county levels. So there is need to simplify them, actually, they are even impeding the implementation of government projects. Take for instance the Laptops, the standard gauge railway and the security tender awarded to Safaricom the other day, all of them have faced legal challenges and this is all because of procurement rules. Therefore, if the Budget and Appropriations Committee as a representative of this House can help the National Treasury and other Government essences to actually make those procurement rules a little bit relaxed for easy implementation of this projects."
