    "content": "The Government is, therefore, committed to investing resources as well as providing a conducive environment for the ICT sector to thrive. In order to leverage on ICT, I have allocated Kshs1.9 billion for the continued roll out of IFMIS, Kshs0.8 billion for Konza Techno City, and Kshs0.25 billion for Digital Talent. The available public sector resources are insufficient to close the existing infrastructure gap. In this context, the Government has recognised the critical role that can be played by the private sector in mobilising resources for infrastructure development and is using the Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement to accelerate infrastructure development, create jobs and provide efficient services to the people of Kenya. The projects currently under the PPP programme include the development of 10,000 kilometers of roads using the annuity approach, the generation of the 5,000MW of electricity, the construction of university hostels, the development of a seaport in Kisumu, the expansion of the Mombasa - Nairobi - Malaba Highway and the construction of the second Nyali Bridge in Mombasa among others. Projects in other sectors of the economy will also be identified and implemented through PPPs."
