    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I hear the comments by Hon. Musimba. However, I believe that the amendment coming here is to facilitate the provisions for roads being done in future using a PPP framework where we would then have to allow a private investor, who does a road that is not being done by the national Government, to recoup his investment through tolling. That has nothing to do with the existing roads that have been constructed through national funding. That is the difference between the Thika Superhighway, for example, and a road that might be done between Kipipiri and Nyahururu by a private person, who will have to recoup their investment through tolling. However, if the law does not provide for such arrangement, we will not even attract such person in the first instance to construct the road. Therefore, this law is opening the window for PPP roads to be done and for private investors to charge toll while the rest of the Government roads continue to operate under the fuel levy fund and other mechanisms. The two roads are very different."
