    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to support this Bill. The moment we pass it, it will be a landmark for the development of our country. First, it will promote the development of large projects like roads. When you engage in Public and Private Partnership, it will boost the Government, whenever funding is not sufficient for the construction of large-scale projects. This Bill has prescribed a procedure for engagement, which is important. This procedure will lead to creation of proper regulations that will guide the private partnership engagement in a harmonized way. I have read about the engagement in the West and even in the US. It has assisted the Government to access funding. This is getting private capital from private organisations that have a lot of money. We have rich people in this country willing to assist, but there are no clear regulations or law that will provide an effective engagement to allow them to participate in development. Last time I was in Botswana with a team from the Committee on Education and we witnessed so many Kenyans in Botswana who are currently doing farming and are encouraged and supported by the Government."
