    "content": "Clause 10. Clause 15 of the Bill provides for the appointment of Director-General of that Authority, and that will be done by the Cabinet Secretary to the National Treasury. The Cabinet Secretary will do that appointment. This person will be the one to run the day-to- day management of the affairs of the Authority. Clause 33 of the Bill recognizes the role and the responsibilities of counties in the implementation of this Act; by specifically mandating and involving the county treasury in public procurement. This Bill is very important for our county governments. Procurement in county governments is done under a tree. The major problems this country is facing with devolution is how our public resources, how the procurement and asset disposal is done at our county governments. Since this Bill will go to the Senate for consideration, then the county governments, with the enactment of this law, will change the way they do things currently. The role of the county treasury, under the guidance of the National Treasury, will be as follows:- The implementation of public procurement, coordination, promotion and giving preference and reservations to schemes for small, micro-enterprises and other disadvantaged groups. This Bill is very voluminous. Part II deals with the various bodies that are formed. Part V, Clauses 44 to 55 of the Bill, sets out the provisions concerning the internal organisations of any procuring entity. Clause 44 makes provisions on the primary responsibility of the accounting officer for ensuring that the public entity complies with this Act. So, the accounting officer of any public entity has the sole responsibility to ensure that public entities comply with this Act."
