    "content": "I was saying that in the past, the Government has always worked on its own without partnering with the private sector. It has set its own standards. The standards of governments have never been that professional. Many people think that whatever is private is more of an expert and better than what the government does. When you look at hospitals, one prefers to go to a private hospital, a private university, or some institution that is privately run. So, there is a kind of a standard that private institutions or organisations set. Now, if you are going to have the PPP concept, one begins to see how governments are going to improve because they are coming and working together with private investors. I think that there is hope that the governments, whatever projects they are coming up with, whatever services they are going to offer, by working together with the private sector, then definitely we are going to see an improved set of things happening at the county level. In my view, it is a good Bill that improves the economy of the counties. Where counties have not had enough funds and the private sector cannot do it, then they can come to an agreement to share the resources that they have. They can share manpower, they can share funds, they can share many other various services and skills. There is going to be an improvement because each partner is coming with his own idea that is going to improve whatever project that he is coming with. It is a great opportunity for economic empowerment at the county level. It is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
