    "content": "As a precaution, as we do this, the welfare of Kenyans must be given the first priority because we know that we are dealing with people - the so called investors – who not all of them are genuine. Therefore, we must be very careful. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I could talk on and on but I will not do that because I want my other colleagues to speak. However, I want to say that with regard to the county governments, yes, this Bill talks about them, but we need more representation and inclusion of the county government in this Bill so that it is more representative. Otherwise, this Bill gives a very nice institutional and regulatory framework for managing Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). It establishes a Public Private Partnership Committee Unit and Boards that it will ensure that this is realized. If this Bill goes through, the Minister for Finance will have to ensure that the people who will be in this Committee are people who are nationalists and will be ready to see that this country moves forward. However, if he will appoint the same mandarins who have been in the Treasury for many years and have retired, we will go back to where we have been. So, with this Committee, Units and Boards, we want young blood and people who can come up with new ideas and not to take the people who have retired and bring them to these boards because they will think the old way. With those very many remarks, I wish to strongly support this Bill."
