    "content": "I congratulate the National Assembly for passing this Bill. It is now in this House. We have had a lot of time to work on it as the Committee on Finance and Budget, and are very optimistic that Members of this House will see it very fit and urgent to pass this Bill. Once this Bill is passed and Regulations put in place, it is going to have people in both the private and public sectors working together. It is also very important that the public is protected. This Bill will protect the people and resources of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let us talk about waste management. If there was a public private arrangement where we could manage our waste, I think the country could have been very far by this time. The problem that we have of power bills going very high is because of lack of such arrangements. The moment we have waste management, if it is developed well, it will produce power. We will produce manure. That will help in agriculture. We will also create a lot of employment for our people. Some of these things are very timely, but what is critical is how it is done, so that the people of Kenya do not burn their fingers in the process. The Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Bill is also a very important Bill. If you put it together with this Bill and the County Resource Development Bill, they can take the country very far. If you have a family where you look at only the head of the family to take care of every aspect, there will be no development in that family. The moment people are apportioned their responsibility, development comes in very quickly and everybody is on board. The moment this Bill is put in place, our agriculture will definitely improve. The moment we have Public Private Partnership (PPP), we can have a partner who will bring input to our agriculture. For example, in Ahero in Kisumu County, we deal with the rice scheme and sugar industry. Those two industries can be developed to benefit many people. The farmers in those areas will benefit. We need PPP in agriculture."
