. With the establishment of an institute, procurement officers will have the mandate to ensure that procurement is done in a professional manner. You have heard the Mover say that we lose billions of shillings through procurement annually. In fact, 6 per cent of the total Budget is lost because of poor or fraudulent procurement. That accounts for about Kshs30 billion annually. Once we have proper procurement officers in place, that money will be saved. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill seeks to establish an examination board, which will make sure that procurement officers go through proper training, examination ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question was deferred on the Minister's request because he did not have a satisfactory answer. But the Assistant Minister has read out the same, same answer today. I do not know why the Minister asked for the Question to be deferred at that time.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are grateful for what the Assistant Minister has said that they will start tarmacking this road from next year. However, the gravelling of this road started nine months ago. Up to now, they have hardly done five kilometres. The contractor has even moved from the site. He has moved the equipment that was on site. I would like to know from the Assistant Minister when the gravelling will be completed. The gravelling was a different contract from tarmacking.
