    "content": "With the Hustler Fund that was launched the other day, people access it by only registering. The last time I checked, it was the day before yesterday, and over 12 million Kenyans had registered. You can even track the transactions per second. In this day and age, for an investor to tell us that they cannot allow us to track how many vehicles are using that super highway or the Nairobi Expressway and not show transactions per second leaves a lot to be desired. It is, therefore, imperative that we pass these Regulations to ensure that even in public private partnerships agreements like the one of the Nairobi Expressway, there is actual transparency and accountability as to what is going on in terms of the public investments that are made. Throughout the negotiations of the Nairobi Expressway, the lower deck of Mombasa Road right from ABC to Mlolongo, all the negotiations for that contract are minuted that the contractor was to do the upper deck and restore the lower deck to either an equal or better standard than the upper deck. However, shockingly because of the absence of such regulations, at the last minute of signing the contract, that particular clause was dropped. You will be shocked that a week after the elections, somebody was pushing the Kenya National Highways Authority’s (KeNHA) management to award the same contractor another contract of Ksh9 billion to do the lower deck without following any procurement process."
