    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, today, we have a scenario where we are buying things for our Government Ministries at exorbitant prices. That money is going to individual pockets through corrupt means. That money is money which we could well use for infrastructural developments. It is in billions. I read somewhere that it is about Kshs7 billion which we lose in unnecessary and corrupt procurement of simple goods. I also would want to see a scenario where in law the Government is forced to buy locally. We keep talking about Vision 2030, how we want to rejuvenate and build a vibrant jua kali sector. How can a furniture maker hope for the future and the vision of 2030, if the same Government that is telling us, how they are going to be vibrant by 2030, is importing furniture from China?"
