    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the same lords of corruption; the same masters that have held this country hostage since 1963; the same procurers and brokers have now devolved themselves to the 47 counties. They are even becoming richer than they used to be because they are taking every county hostage. For example, the procurement of Elgeyo- Marakwet is combined together with the one of Kwale and Homa Bay counties. If you look at the business, it is either the same man who was doing this business for many years, or they have just registered subsidiary companies. That should not be the case. There must be deliberate efforts to ensure that the youth and youth groups of that county have been enabled to register themselves and do business. There is nothing so secret in publishing that “we have awarded contracts to such and such number of youth groups and the names of the directors of those youth groups are these ones.” We hope that in the next financial year, they will have got the strength to compete and even look for business elsewhere. We will also give a new lot of fresh young people the courage to also start business. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a Bill worth supporting it. It is a Bill that we must all be proud of. We must thank hon. Sakaja for it. I must confess here because I was part and parcel of those who drafted the Jubilee Manifesto; this Bill is completely supported by the Jubilee Manifesto. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
