    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I have noted that the Public Procurement and Disposal Act has also been looked at. If there is an area that is most problematic in the management of public affairs, it is public procurement – It is the mother of all corruption. So, I would support anything that would assist in strengthening and curbing corruption. Anything that would help minimise the delays and bureaucracies in procurement should be welcome. Some of the inefficiencies and failures in Government and public sector have to do with procurement. They take so long until at times the financial year ends without good programmes being implemented. Therefore, the proposal of looking for quicker ways of reaching decisions on public procurement is a good thing and I support it. I have also noted that there is reference to special economic zones. This is good and should be encouraged. These arrangements should be adopted by counties so that they can set up special economic zones that will provide employment to our people and also stimulate economic activities in the counties.
