    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to revisit also the issue of google and say that if that story still exists, google needs to know that, that it is not true. The Malili land belongs to the Government. The Government of Kenya has no controversy whatsoever and the land belongs to the Government. The google can correct that, so that it does not misinform the world about something. To get back to the last question, this will be a Public/Private Partnership (PPP) project. We will use the model of PPP, where the Government provides land on lease to investors and all manufacturers and vendors in industry--- Those who want to build hotels, recreational facilities, hospitals and schools will come in. so, it will be a model, but the Government will also have its own buildings. The proposal is to have even the Ministry of Information and Communications and other Ministries out there, so that it is a model city. If you look at the model that we have produced, there is capacity to create more than 500,000 jobs, and an opportunity for Kenyans to commute back and forth, using a high-speed transport system. Regarding when it will happen, we are hoping that funding will come for us to put in place the basic infrastructure. We are already marketing the country in the sense that investors from the international community have shown interest. Let me inform the House that some of those investors want to start doing their business before we go to Malili. So, the Government is also looking for a facility to provide opportunities for these investors to begin employing Kenyans now and not to wait until Malili is ready. The model is one of “build and operate” in partnership with the Government. This is likely to be one of the biggest sources of employment for our country."
