    "content": "This Bill also expands the scope of arrangement that qualify as PPPs and available procurement methods by introducing direct procurement as one of the approved methods. Previously, all you needed is the Government to say that they wanted to construct a certain road and people would then bid on who can do it better. However, here we have a situation where you want something to be done, including privately-initiated investment proposal where somebody comes and says that he would like to dualise Mombasa Road to Voi Road section. He does his maths and believes that he can make money. He can also say that he wants to construct the road from Lunga Lunga to Kiunga. He does his maths and sees that he can make money from it. We allow people to do that. It used to happen in the past. For those who may remember, the old Nyali Bridge used to be on a PPP by Kenya Bus Service and other people. These things have been done. You charge your toll, make your money and then you surrender the project."
