"content": "That kind of model will over-burden the citizens of this country who are already reeling from the effects of high loans that people have borrowed. This Bill provides that it is not just national Government that will deal with matters public-private partnership. However, in Clause 2, it is proposed that an amendment is brought in to substitute the definition of a contracting authority from just being national Government or a State department agency or corporation, but it also includes the county governments. The county government or county corporation which intends to have its functions undertaken by a private entity can do so suing this piece of legislation. We hope that with the introduction of this law, the counties can now have an opportunity to engage the private sector for purposes of partnership for service delivery. Nairobi County needs this law, and the Senator for Nairobi City County is here. One of the biggest problems that Nairobi City County is dealing with is collection of waste. With a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) arrangement, it is possible for a private investor to provide a model to the county that can collect all the waste in this City. Some of it can be recycled and used to generate energy. I know that, that proposal is already on the table."
