(Ms.) Gladys Wanga","speaker":{"id":590,"legal_name":"Gladys Atieno Nyasuna","slug":"gladys-atieno-nyasuna"},"content":"THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 21 by: (a) renumbering the existing provision as subsection (1); (b) inserting the following new subsection immediately after the new subsection (1)- (2) Without prejudice to the periods specified under the Second Schedule, a contracting authority shall not enter into a public private partnership arrangement for a period exceeding thirty years. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is fundamental because it is about the PPP arrangement. The Committee is recommending that any PPP arrangement should not go beyond a period exceeding 30 years. It can be less, but it should not be more than a generation so that no generation is responsible for debts of another one. We want to put a cap, so that the period within which money should be recovered in a PPP does not go beyond 30 years. It could be or three, five or 10 years, but nobody should put a PPP of 40 or 50 years or longer than a generation. I beg to move."}
