    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me take this opportunity to thank hon. Eugene for his persistent thoughts for the youths. I want to begin by saying that I want to plead with hon. Eugene to take note of the sentiments of Mr. Kimunya whom we do not often quite agree with. But today, I think his sentiments are correct. I want to urge you to listen to them. He always thinks in unorthodox ways, but today I think he means well. I was in this House when he amended the procurement Act and I saw what happened. I think at the Committee stage, hon. Eugene would want to help us further, now that he has taken the initiative to make a raft of further changes in the Procurement Act. The reason why even the youth cannot afford to supply is because in these Ministries, particularly a pen is supplied for Kshs1,000. That pen at retail in a kiosk is Kshs10. So, it is theft. It is not procurement. I would wish to see a Bill that seals procurement loopholes."
