    "content": "I just want to thank the proposer of the Bill. This is a Bill whose time has come. It intends to attract more private partners coming in to partner with Government. Where there is no framework, entities will shy away from partnering with Government on a number of projects. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I said when I began to support this Motion, I will be bringing further amendments during the Committee of the whole House so that we improve this Bill to be able to herald a new era in terms of development. When we have a Bill that specifies how different entities will relate with Government in so far as those joint projects are concerned, it will give more confidence to the private entities that are willing to come and invest in this country. As you are aware, the Government cannot meet all the development requirements of this country. It needs the input of the private sector, development partners and well-wishers to come and support the Government in terms of advancing various development projects. Once this Bill is approved by this House, it will act as a precursor for more investors coming to partner with the Government to improve the lives of Kenyans. The many development partners who are taking their investments out of this country will begin to come back. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
