    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. We have been criticized that most of the large construction contracts, be they in the sector of roads or in other pieces of infrastructure like stadiums, large buildings and so on, end up with foreign construction companies. We have also been criticized in terms of the slow pace with which some of the pieces of infrastructure are being delivered. But if you look behind the reasons why these things are happening, a key question is lack of capacity at the company level. So, in terms of Kenyan indigenous construction companies being able to bid and tender for large pieces of infrastructure both in Kenya and globally, there is lack of capacity as some of the other speakers have said. There is lack of capacity within companies to have the requisite professionals within the requisite skills set in order to deliver those pieces of infrastructure."
