    "content": "I am not looking for him to second. I am looking for him because he was around. I had a discussion with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and he, together with Sen. Wetangula, know what happened to Governor Chepkwony. We let him off because the threshold was not as high as required. Otherwise, he would have been impeached and removed from his seat on an account of failure of procedure and legal framework to deal with PPP. As a Mover of this amendment, I suggest that the Committee that is chaired by Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud should look into the PPP delivery unit. The PPP delivery unit is going to participate in the approvals that are required from counties, hence the composition of that unit should be expanded to include representation of counties. The reason for that is because we have all the entities of Government that are performing functions that relate to national and county level and we have ensured that we amend the law to accommodate the county governments. If that is not going to be the case, then nothing will stop the national Government from using the institutional structure for the establishment of that unit to deny certain counties certain projects because there is no one doing the bidding on behalf of the counties. Although I am moving the amendments as they are, Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud, who is the Chairperson of the Committee that is looking at this issue, must come up with amendments to accommodate the representation of county governments in the PPP procurement unit under the Public Private Partnerships Act, 2013. With those so many remarks, I move this Bill and request the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud, to second."
