    "content": "Approval by National Assembly of National Government Projects. 59A. (1) The contracting authority shall submit a copy of the public private partnership agreement, the project financial and risk assessment reports to the National Assembly. (2) The National Assembly shall consider and approve the project agreement within thirty days. (3) The approval by the National Assembly may include its reservations or recommendations. (4) If the National Assembly does not make a decision on the project agreement within the thirty days, it shall be deemed to have been approved. (5) The parties to a public private partnership shall review the Project agreement to take into consideration any reservations or recommendations made by the National Assembly before execution. (6) The Clerk of the National Assembly shall− (a) keep a register of all public private partnership agreements submitted; and, (b) cause a list of all public private partnerships to be published on Parliament’s website. My basis of this amendment is simple. All these public private partnerships, as I have alluded to earlier, involves public assets. Members of the National Assembly are the ones, under Article 94 of the Constitution, who have been given powers to represent the people. These same people are the taxpayers who will take care of the costs of many of these projects. What I am asking is that at least in every PPP agreement that is entered into, as MPs, through our respective Departmental Committees, we have an opportunity to interrogate those PPPs."
