    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before we broke for lunch, I was contributing to this Motion, the Address of the Nation by the President, and I was almost concluding. I wish to put across that the President did a great speech by virtually addressing all concerns by Kenyans. I would like to address the issue of Adani. As much as the Adani issue was addressed and they were stopped from doing business in Kenya, this should not condemn the Public-Private-Partnerships (PPPs). That is what will unlock the deteriorating aspect of infrastructure in this country. I believe once we encourage the PPPs engagement, our infrastructure will be improved. I have a dam in my area called Pesi. Given its capacity, the required budget for that dam is Ksh20 billion to Ksh30 billion. Without a PPP arrangement, it will be a tall order for the Government to execute it. As much as one entity was regarded unfit to work in this country, let us encourage the issue of PPPs. There are indicators that this country is on the right path. The President talked about inflation and the performance of the Kenya Shilling against the Dollar. The Government is saying that we have improved economically, but how I wish this aspect would be experienced by money being in the pockets of Kenyans."
