    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, the port of Mombasa rings in my mind as a prime candidate for some of those public private partnership projects. The Lamu Port development will cost us about Kshs1 trillion plus. Now, there is no way we are going to commit our entire budget to that, unless we identify partners that we can work with to say: “Who does the pipeline, railway, port, roads, the resort cities and how can we partner together so that people can bring in their expertise, capital, we provide the land, oversight, regulation, market and it becomes a win-win situation?” That is what has happened across the entire world. It is exactly the same thing that you can identify literally because that is what the public sector does. There is a window for partnering with our private sector so that the Government does what it does. It needs to invest, provide the land, regulation, oversight and the private sector brings in the capital and expertise and together, our people are liberated from poverty and move on to prosperity, which is exactly what we anticipated when we designed National Vision 2030 which we all talk about. There is no way we are going to achieve a globally competitive and prosperous nation unless we embrace the new methods of doing business, which is inviting the people within the private sector and tell them: “Bring in your capital and resources and we will provide what we can as the public sector and, together, we create a win-win situation.”"
