    "content": "The definition of “procurement professional” is given on page 521. The Act says that a procurement professional means a person who has professional qualifications in procurement or supply chain management from a recognised institution, and he is a member of the Kenya Institute of Supplies Management which was established under the Supplies Practitioners Management Act, 2007 (No.20 of 2007). This procurement professional is somebody who has tried to find space over the years. If you look at the Budget which we passed in this Parliament, a lot of money goes towards infrastructure where a lot of money is provided for energy, water, roads and buildings. This Act has omitted defining professionals within the infrastructure sector. There are engineers who construct our roads, the electrical engineers who do our lights, the architects who design our buildings and the quantity surveyors and pharmacists. They also provide us service. It is high time this definition was done away with."
