The issue of 30 per cent that the Act has given to women, youth and disabled is not being implemented in the national Government and the county governments. We need to enforce this law so that it is indicated in the tender that it belongs to the youth. If you make it open for the general public, the guys who have money can The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
