    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker,I arise to comment on two of the clauses of the Senate Amendments. One is Clause 33 on the affirmative action of giving 20 per cent of the tender specifically to residents of the county. You realise that in some counties, more than 90 per cent or 100 per cent of the tenders are given to people outside the counties instead of at least leaving some reasonable percentage of the tendering within the county to improve the circulation of money and the economies of those counties. Two is on the evaluation of technical and financial capability of tenderers. In the past, 80 per cent of the weight of the tender was for technical evaluation and 20 per cent was financial. Now that the Senate has proposed equal weight to both of them, I believe this will assist especially some of the new young upcoming companies that may not get the 80 per cent threshold for technical capability and may not proceed to the next stage. So this Senate amendment is good and it will assist to grow young companies so that they may be able to get businesses both within the county and nationally. I beg to support the amendments given by the Senate. Thank you."
