    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for that protection. The Senator for Nyeri County asked about the PPPP committees. These committees were set up in 2013 when the Act came into force. I do not have the names but I can provide the Member with the names of the individual members. We had a meeting with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chairman when we were discussing the impeachment of the Kericho Governor. However, they are in office and they were elected in accordance with the provisions of the Public Private Partnership Programme Act. There was a question on the counties that Sen. Kagwe asked. The regulations regarding the county PPPPs are still under discussion with the various stakeholders. The result will come to the Senate and the National Assembly for approval as required.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the third question was on the Nairobi housing that was asked by Sen. Elachi. This project involved the development of 10,000 units for civil servants in Park Road, Starehe and Shauri Moyo estates. I do not know whether the areas that she has mentioned are the same ones that I referred to here. However, if she wants details I can find out if these are the same ones. There is no need to worry because the Act provides clearly that the services provided to the public should be affordable and not a burden on the Government and the people of Kenya. I do not think there is a situation where we shall demolish all the houses and get rid of the people there. There should be a mechanism to provide accommodation for them. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. asked a question about the counties. What I have said is clear. The absence of the county PPPP regulations does not stop the counties from pursuing PPP projects. As the Members will remember, when we dealt with the Kericho 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"
