    "content": "Looking into this Bill, we will take into account the many private organizations we have in this country that can be represented in this Committee. For example, the Kenya Private Sector Alliance has been at the forefront in fighting for integrity in the public sector. They are the ones who came up with so many proposals that were to guide amendments to anti-corruption legislations in this country so that we make doing business easier without necessarily having corruption cartels dictating how business is done between Government and the private sector. I hope we will be able to take consideration of giving them a slot to be represented in the PPPs Committees. I also hope we will think of bodies such as the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK) and the Professional Society of East Africa. I know my professional body, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), has had issues in the recent past. I hope as things cool down we can also consider bringing them on board. In terms of the composition of this Committee, I am also impressed that the Council of Governors (CoG) has been given two slots. We have recognized that under Article 6 of our Constitution, we have two levels of Government that is the county and the national Government. It is good that other than having the Principal Secretary from the national Government and the Solicitor General, the CoG will also nominate two people to sit in that Committee."
