I also want to thank this Parliament for one thing which it did during this Session - passing the Public Finance Management (Amendment) Bill, which stipulated very clearly that 30 per cent of the value of all procurements in this country, including both at the national Government and the county governments, should go to the youth, women and people with disabilities.

I want to also say that when we work together as Members of Parliament, we work as partners. I want to encourage my brother Mbadi. Mbadi has been a very good friend of ours, especially during the Value Added Tax (VAT) Bill but, of late, he has actually gone off and started attacking the membership of the House.
