"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I said is that this exists within the same paradigm of a government regulating the operation of a certain business enterprise. It is not a service being offered to the county. In the same way, the Government regulates and limits the number of matatus going to Tharaka Nithi from Nairobi by giving them a licence, for they can only give the licence to a certain number of matatus . Once that licence has been issued, it is up to the operator of that matatu to find clients. It is not a guarantee of income. Procurement on the other hand is a guarantee of income for it is a service being procured by a procuring entity according to the Public Procurement Oversight Authority Act (PPOA), 2015. Therefore, it is completely different though we understand that it is an area that is lucrative and there needs to be a better process through which that licence is granted to a company just as is the case with any other licence such as that of casino,"
