    "content": "beyond their policy is to insist and protect the local contractors which is one thing that we have to push for as a House. This is one thing that we have to push for as a House. We also have to push for monitoring of contractors at the county level. We need to have a clear monitoring mechanism because there is so much happening in the counties and therefore monitoring becomes a key issue. We still have serious gaps because you saw how infrastructure failed because of the floods. Part of it has to do with quality. Although my Motion may have been superseded by events, in my opinion, there is still something that the National Construction Authority (NCA) needs to do. I would like question to be raised to them and I urge Senators to support me on this one because it is still a critical issue in the country. The NCA handles critical part of our infrastructure but our building and construction is still a challenge in many ways in terms of capacity building yet it has the authority. It is their mandate to build capacity to uplift our local contractors and make sure that there is growth of the sector and the industry. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I wind up, I would like to ask Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to second the Motion."
