    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Article 227(2) provides for categories of preference in the allocation of contracts, the protection or advancement of persons; categories of persons or groups previously advantaged by unfair competition or discrimination, sanctions against dishonesty, contractors who have not performed according to professionally regulated procedures, contractors who have breached contractual agreements and registration or have been guilty of corrupt practices or serious violation of fair employment, laws and practices. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Kenya Constitution requires prudent use of taxpayers’ funds so as to ensure there is value for money to achieve in all public spending decisions. Accountability in public procurement system in Kenya in the past decade has undergone significant changes, from a system without regulations in 1960s to a system regulated by the Treasury circulars in 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Finally, there was the introduction of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act of 2005 and 2006 setting new standards for procurement procedures in Kenya. Therefore, I want to support this Bill; it is a good Bill."
