    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Chairman for bringing this Bill and also the amendments. This is a very important Bill which is really going to touch the people who have been forgotten for a very long time. It is very important that we make it easy for these groups mentioned here to access tenders. This is because in certain areas very hard conditions are placed, for instance, requiring women and youth to get certificates online. We know that most women and youth in this country cannot access these certificates online. Sometimes they request for bid bonds and so many other things. We want this to be done in an easy way so that it can get the change that the Government wants. Our intention should be to change the lives of these people who have been left behind. We want to encourage the youth and the women so that they get all these tenders. We need also to do an evaluation to find out the change it is bringing to our community. So, I want to support this Bill and the amendments. This is a noble Bill and project for the Government and the people of Kenya. Indeed, it should be taken very seriously. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
