    "content": " Madam Deputy Speaker, I second the Bill. Public-Private Partnerships are very important now and we live in an age where governments cannot be able to do everything or raise capital. The participation of the private sector and other entities is very crucial as we try to build economies that can compete with the other growing economies in the world, particularly in the field of infrastructure, to catch up with countries that have moved ahead and taken advantages of economies of scale as the world is divided into two entities; the developed world and the developing world. The Government cannot at all times develop needed infrastructure. It is therefore important for us to create a legal framework because without a legal framework, it is very difficult for this project to be undertaken. Now that we have a Constitution that talks about procurement and how the procurement should be undertaken; particularly procurement relating to Public Private Partnership (PPP). That legal framework is not clear even if one were to read the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal (PPAD) Act, 2015."
