    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Petition. I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating the Senator for Isiolo. It is good to take care of issues in a proactive manner than wait for counties to lose money then start engaging on postmortem issues. It is good to tackle issues immediately they start. Therefore, I congratulate the Senator for Isiolo for that. This is about accountability to the people of Isiolo County. This venture can be used as part of corruption. Therefore, I encourage us to tackle this issue right now so that it is exhausted effectively. Which law will the recruitment of the 100 volunteers be subjected to? Is it for the county or a private entity? How will they be recruited? We need to create jobs in the county and it is the work of the county to do that. This is not the work of an individual investor who is in pretence of working for counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the existing law, there is no framework for Public Private Partnership (PPP). There is one that is under review by the Committee on Finance and Budget. How did they enter into this agreement or PPP without taking into consideration the existing financial laws? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Senator for Isiolo for bringing these issues to the fore. As the Senate, we need to be proactive instead of being reactive to issues where public money is lost. Resources are limited. Therefore, the little resources that go to the counties need to be used more effectively and not shared between individuals. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
