    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also wish to support those amendments. What the Senate has done is to enrich the Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill as was passed by this House. The definitions of “persons with disability”, “youth” and “women” are broadened. This is something that is going to enrich the Bill. We ought to support those amendments. The other part that I am in concurrence with is the amendment on Clause 5(c). They have done very well in making this requirement. Making this requirement is in order. Sometimes, persons with disability, women and the youth are not the beneficiaries of this process. Sometimes, people collect persons with disability, give them some token and use them to register companies and get those facilities. So, the people who benefit are not the ones who are targeted. By demanding that they must provide proof that the people who are benefitting are persons with disability, youth and women is in order. These amendments are not going to change anything substantial in the Bill that was passed by this House. Instead, they are going to enrich what we have done. I totally support and agree with the amendments. We must move the process forward so that we do not cause any delay. People are not benefitting from what has been provided by the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
