    "content": "This is a topic which I love. The Bill provides contract timelines for the various PPP projects. If you are constructing the Nairobi Expressway as a public sector under the supervision of the State Department for Public Works, perhaps you would still be at the design point. However, you can see the work that the private sector has done. It is in their interest to complete the project fast enough, so that they can reap the benefit of this project. Once you are told that you have 20 years on this project, if you spend five years doing it, you only have 15 years to recoup your money. If you are able to do it in two years, then you have extra three years of earning. That kind of incentive is important for achieving project objectives in good time and not continue being on construction mode. I am not saying that the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing Urban Development and Public Works is slow, but we have also seen some roads that have taken up to five years. There is a four-kilometre road in Ol kalou Town that started in the last term of Parliament. A four-kilometre road within a town that is still ongoing. We have also seen others, but we have seen the speed with which this Expressway and the Lot 33 that I talked about earlier were executed."
