    "content": "For us as a country to boost economic growth and to grow at a pace where we drive out poverty and everybody enjoys a fairly comfortable life, we have to correct those problems that we have been having in procurement. It is common knowledge that in most of the tendering, those who tender are predetermined. Before you even tender, there are arrangements and it becomes very inflated so that there is money for kitu kidogo and that is what kills the economy. In 2007, the Public Procurement Oversight Authority (PPOA) estimated that procuring entities were buying at an average of 60 per cent above the prevailing market levels. That means there was no competition and procurement was not competitive. If we invite competition, at least, it will stabilize at nearly 10 per cent of that."
