    "content": "Hon. Tonui has brought an amendment which tries to prevent people from procuring when there is no money. We know there is always a budget and a procurement plan, but that does not mean money. We have to wait for the money to be there and the reason why we have so much of the pending bills is because people procure in anticipation. County governments know that they have a listing of what they are likely to get. I am not talking about counties only, even parastatals and ministries. So, there is anticipatory procurement before the money lands in the account. This assurance that there is money to pay will empower contractors to bid for what they know they will be paid and so there will be no stories of waiting for another allocation."
