    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, allow me to finish what I was saying. There is a point to note here. The private partnership engagement will enable us to benefit from research. More often than not, you will find very important research findings in the public sector, but there are challenges to implement such research findings because of lack of funding. However, when we engage the private sector, such research findings can easily be implemented to support development more so in the area of technology. Madam Deputy Speaker, you and I were at Moi University. You can remember that most of the research that the university conducted could not find the light of day to be implemented because of funding. Our country normally gets very little funding for the research sector. If we engage in public private partnerships, research that is conducted in public or private universities can easily be implemented to support development. Additionally, when we get into public private partnerships, we are likely to get quality work when it comes to roads, products and services. This engagement is so important to both the private and public sectors. It will enhance access to technology and effective benefit of skills from different people that are working in the private and public sector. I really support this Bill. It is my prayer that all of us support it so that it assists development in our country. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I once again congratulate our partners for their words."
