    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Although in Clause 158 of the Bill there is a proposal for candidates to participate in procurement proceedings without any form of discrimination, there is also need to specify the percentages that should be allocated to those disadvantaged groups and marginalised women and youth. It should not be left open, or to the procurement entity to decide how much allocation should go to each group of candidates. Still under that clause, it is very important that it be specified that there will be reservations for counties. Within the counties, there should also be reservations for sub- county units, namely constituencies, cities and urban areas in terms of procurement. We know that when we devolve procurements proceedings, there could be a lot of marginalisation within a county in terms of constituencies. The Bill specifies that there should be an allocation for sub-county units. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
