"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the news alert shows that there is a directive by His Excellency the President that all public bodies and entities should publish not only the tenders, but also the awards they are going to make. Look at the kind of bodies and entities that we are having in this country. There is only one entity that is doing publishing and printing. We need this service devolved, so that those that can be handled at national level can be handled there and the rest handled at the counties. It will help us realize faster service to the people. With regard to equitable distribution of information to the people, back in the villages, people do not know what is called the Kenya Gazette . They do not even know that these publications exist. In fact, when you tell them that there is a Kenya Gazette, they do not know about it. It is mostly known to lawyers who go to the Government Printer to get it or to those who work in the county executive. Having the County Printer will distribute this information quickly and in an equitable way to the people. In fact, having one centralized Printer has denied people information. They cannot access a lot of directives that have been done. Even yesterday, had it not been for social media, we would not have known that there was a declaration of a public holiday on Friday. We just saw it on social media. If you and I do not know, and we are here with those that publish-- “You” does not mean “Mr. Deputy Speaker.”"
