• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: As I support the Bill, it is extremely important we look at the manner in which Government contracts at the national and county levels are provided and operationalized. We continue to look at the way they will clearly follow the stipulated procedures and there will be recourse to those who find challenges. view
