    "content": "So, the purpose of NCA now seems to be wanting in the sense that it is becoming a place where they are making money. More so, if you look at the requirements for the tenders which are given, they indicate the classes of NCA. You must be Class 7, Class 8 or Class 6 and above. For you to acquire that class as a youth group, women group or a disabled group, you have to pay Kshs50,000. That is the current amount that is being charged irrespective of these other penalties that are being stated here. So, we are pleading with the Committee to also look into that. I do not know where they got those kinds of fees and charges. Again, we are going to look at the regulations to see whether they have been passed through the right way. That is because if you ask a youth group to be registered, then what we are just saying is that through the regulations that we have passed here recently under the Procurement Act, where 30 per cent should go to those vulnerable groups, then again, we are not going to actualize what Parliament has actually passed to try and assist those young men, women and the disabled."
