    "content": "This amendment Bill provides the legal framework for governments to engage each other; county to county, national Government to county government, county government to bilateral donors or such other parties to work together to create products and services for our people. There are many areas that the county governments can work within the PPP, for example, energy, agriculture development, garbage collection, development of sport facilities, such as athletic stadiums, tree planting and afforestation and environment. It is true that there are many entities out there who would wish to partner with our county governments to develop markets, housing projects, bus parks, Jua Kali sheds and factories. The legal framework that will be created by this amendment Bill will help the national Government and the county government to deliver on the Big Four Agenda which include housing, food security, manufacturing and health. It is important to note that most of these functions are devolve and therefore the county governments will be guided by the rules that will be made by the National Treasury. It was therefore important to anchor these arrangements within the law. In coming up with these amendments, we sought to shield the Government from liabilities incurred which might be used by third parties to defraud the Government. These provisions protect the Government from liabilities and contingencies from private entities which have been used in the past to fleece the Government and siphon public monies."
