    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to support the amendments by the Senate particularly Clause 124 regarding evaluation of tenders by public entities, by giving weights of 50 per cent to both the financial and technical capability of the tenderers. I want to concur particularly on 50 per cent to technical capability because previously, technical weight had been rated at almost 70 per cent which many local contractors could not have achieved. But by bringing it to 50 per cent, it enables many local contractors to achieve the threshold. Two, Clause 33, regarding promoting preference and reservation schemes for residents of the county, is very important. It affords the residents of a particular county an opportunity to participate more in tendering. Therefore, they will get funds and improve their standards of living. I support."
