    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you very much. This is indeed a great Bill. This Bill will protect the Government and at the same time contractors. It will again protect the spending of public funds. Clause 11 ensures compliance with the Public Finance Management Act and the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015. Having said that, I want youth, women and people with disabilities to be given 30 per cent of any contracts that are advertised. The Attorney General is being given the powers to harmonise and regulate both the national Government and counties governments. At the end of the day, we want value for money. One of the roles of a Member of Parliament is in the budget-making process. I want to tell Members of Parliament that accountability is the basis of any meaningful achievement. Therefore, we want to see the value for money both in infrastructure and generally all developments in our country."
