"content": "The import of this is to introduce private roads and bring congruence. What we have been trying to do with the introduction of PPP frameworks is to address the issue of scarce resources to enable us to develop roads and indeed infrastructure for the public good. This is with precedence because within the water sector we have private water suppliers and in the security sector we have private security suppliers despite this being a Government function. Within the wildlife area we have wildlife sanctuaries which are indeed private but are there to boost the public good in terms of preservation of tourism and so forth. In the instance of roads, I would want this to be captured under the Bill for purposes of making a law in posterity for 20 years. We are all moving into a digital world. I need to capture roads from a geographical perspective. This is where the whole world is. We have GPS networks such that it tells you where you can move from point A to point B. If we do not capture private roads, which are also an extensive network within this country, then we will be losing out in the whole listing."
