    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the authority noted over 70 per cent of all our public procurement went to large corporations and foreigners, an issue that hon. (Eng.) Gumbo talked about. If we are talking about realizing Vision 2030, it is very important that we take into account our local industries, micro and small enterprises. If you look at employment creation and income generation and the way they are situated in the whole country in terms of regional balancing, they are centers of creativity and innovation. So, if we are futuristic in this country, the new law should take deliberate affirmative action to promote the products from SMEs. We can talk about Uwezo Fund and the youth funds but when you relate Kshs6 billion in the Uwezo Fund and compare it with Kshs1 trillion in the public procurement market, if we can create a definite affirmative action to promote our local industry, then we will be there by 2030 as anticipated by our Vision 2030 where we will create an entrepreneurial nation."
