    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I really appreciate the Minister’s efforts to decongest Nairobi and save us, especially on economic time as he said when he was moving this Motion, I feel completely not able to reconcile with my conscience in giving him the leeway of going to execute the Concession Agreement with the Nairobi Motorway Group as he is trying to propose to us. The reasons that I would advance in this matter is that, as my colleague has said, we have a serious problem with the legality of this company. If there is a serious problem with the legality of a company, then, in my little understanding, you cannot go into a serious agreement with a company that is not-existent! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Nairobi Motorway Group that is supposed to have participated in the expression of interest that was floated some time back--- I even wonder how they were able to pass the evaluation criteria by the team that was doing this evaluation because the very basic requirements that are provided for by the Public Procurement and Disposal Act were not in place; they were not registered and they do not have a tax compliance certificate. We are talking of a concession agreement that will run to US$900 million; this is not little money!"
