    "content": "We are currently in a similar situation. When the President took over the reign of this country in 2022, he found the country hugely indebted. We had almost reached the ceiling for our loan’s obligations. Kenyans complained that they were being taxed very highly. There was no room for more taxation. The President turned to PPPs but Kenyans opposed it. What do we expect him and his government to do? I was impressed by the termination of the Adani contracts, both for the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). I was very concerned. In my research, I found out that Kenyans were not against the contracts. They had a problem with the lack of transparency that was used in getting those contracts. My proposal is that if this country is going to enter into any PPP, it should be transparent and not be single sourced. We should give many organisations an opportunity to bid for them and then we get reasonable figures."
