    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to my colleagues, this Government should be given credit with regard to the PPPP. The PPPP story commenced in 2005 and it was not until 2009 that the policy was done. In 2013, an Act of Parliament on PPPP was passed. Last year, the regulations were passed. We have since then seen all the PPPP advertisements in the media. Pursuant to that, there has been a lot of response from the public. All these projects running in hundreds are the ones which received responses from the private sector who were interested. It is true that none of them has been completed but they have commenced. I have mentioned the construction of 10,000 Kenyatta University students’ hostel units. It has commenced because they have signed an agreement with the company to design, finance, construct and operate the accommodation in their Juja campus. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the coal plant in Lamu, it has been signed with the consortium of companies to provide coal power. I caution Hon. Members that they should not mention companies without evidence. Centum Company is being mentioned yet they went into a consortium with other companies to do the coal plant. The same way a Member’s reputation needs to be protected, companies also need protection. If a Member has evidence to the contrary, he or she can table it in the House. However, in this list of nearly a hundred companies, Centum Company appears once in the Lamu coal plant. It does not appear anywhere else. The Century Company does not appear in any of the others too. Therefore, it is not fair for some Hon. Senators to bring their imaginations in the House. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
