    "content": "Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. It is a rich Bill. I will just touch on a few issues. This Bill will really help the suppliers and the contractors in this country especially once we come up with the regulations of how to regulate this Bill through the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority because everything will be streamlined. It will also help us to know what is supposed to be disposed. It will also come up with a way of how to investigate and a board that will be listening to those who have complaints from the tenderers and the contractors. When we look at Clause 143, where it says that we will be required to sign a performance security and it will be 5 or 10 percent of the contract value, I feel this will be another issue that will not allow some other suppliers and contractors to be able to win contracts. For instance, if a contract is about Kshs30 million, it will be very hard for some people to get the Kshs3 million to put down as their security. I will come up with amendments on that."
