    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support and since three minutes is very short, I will go straight to the point. If you look at Part IV of the Bill - the Public Private Partnership Committee, you will see that it is all Government. So, I would really urge that those appointed under Part 4(g) are appointed by a consortium of all professional bodies who will appoint the four people, so that we do not have all this process domineered by the Government. I wish the Ministers could listen because this is very critical. Under the degree, these Ministers still think that the most important degrees are everything else except agriculture. So, if you could look at all the degrees from the universities that are recognized in Kenya, they should be from any of the following fields: Finance, economics, engineering or law. That cuts off the other professional bodies. I want to tell you that in Singapore now, their income is derived from the two casinos and none of them is in these two fields. So, if there are private partnerships affecting casinos, then they do not come under this particular area. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I celebrate the inclusion of the Second Schedule where we are talking about (ii). That is very suitable for what we are thinking. The National Irrigation Board (NIB) should own the infrastructure in irrigation so that all the other bodies can now produce and that is really good. Three, the lease of equipment now is possible and Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), the police and everybody else does not have to buy a new car, thus easing the burden of purchasing. That is because they can lease/hire that kind of equipment. This is one Bill that could have been done the first time when this Government took over but, nevertheless, it has come in not too late, but in time to spearhead the development in terms of total infrastructure in this country, involving the public at all levels. With my three minutes, I support."
