    "content": "Clause 5 of the proposed Bill speaks to the issue of public participation. It says that if an issue affects any group of people, the administrator will issue a public notice of the proposed administrative action inviting public views. I hope and believe that this will also affect issues of procurement. The Government must not procure things that are not needed by the people they are purported to help. I have gone through a similar experience as the National Coordinator of the Albinism Society of Kenya where a public entity procured sunscreen lotions that were harmful to persons with albinism. We were forced to go to court to stop the process. When we went ahead, because they had already signed a contract, we were told that corporate rights overrule human rights. We found out that our people were suffering in places like Kwale and Makueni. We found effects of such maladministration. At this point, you wonder whether the people who are involved in taking unfair administrative actions would not be held culpable."
