    "content": "debate, I will not purport to answer him. However, I will just let him know that the way it works, it is really a licensing issue not a procurement one. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once a company has been guaranteed permission to operate within certain parameters, for instance in the Matatu sector, where when we license a specific number of matatus to operate within a certain road, it is up to them to get clients or passengers. However, we have limited the provision of that service to that specific road. It is similar to licensing matatus to operate on Ngong Road or Uhuru Highway. Therefore, once a company is licensed to provide outdoor advertising services in a certain area, that does not guarantee them clients. In fact, they are not giving a service to the county government. Therefore, it is licensing where they are allowed to operate within certain areas in the same way you license restaurants and limit them. This is because licensing brings a connotation of limiting and regulating the provision of a certain service to the community."
