    "content": "This Bill, once enacted, also provides for punitive penalties for accounting officers who will not follow or who will not ensure that the procedures stipulated here are followed. It provides penalties in both the county governments and the national Government. It also provides some control for the bidders. What happens is that when contractors are bidding for contracts, there is likelihood that there will be some lobbying. So, this particular Bill provides that the bidder should declare that he has not directly or indirectly paid or agreed to pay any officer or individual in the course of bidding for that particular contract. This is aimed at fighting corruption in the procurement process. It also provides a limitation of personal liability and indemnity of Government and public officers."
