"content": "interrogate the matter, we can know whether the road can become a resource of the Government in four to five years, so that the Government can use its resources to repay other debts. We also need to appreciate that these Regulations are going to help us on many other PPP programmes and projects. The Government will determine how the projects are run. More importantly, if, indeed, the Nairobi Expressway project was exempted from tax, then we must go back to the contractors to pay tax so that the Government can get revenue to use and pay other debts. We find ourselves in a situation where we have very many opportunities which we kill ourselves. If you are in the Government and want to do business, it is okay, but remember this is your country. Do not just do business to kill other people so that you remain alone. Do not make many other people poor for you to benefit. It will not help you at all. I hope the 13th Parliament can change the situation and bring back the opportunities that Kenyans have lost such as seeing Qatar going to Rwanda. Many investors get disappointed with our country because of how we run things. These Regulations must support them. We should stop having bottlenecks. We should stop killing businesses and job opportunities for young people and start appreciating that it is our responsibility to revive the Kenya’s economy. With those few remarks, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to support."
