    "content": "However, it cannot be left unsaid that in the past, where projects were undertaken under PPPs, private investors willy-nilly made money in the end but public entities and the public at large never benefited out of the projects, even if missions were fulfilled and services effectively rendered to the public. I am hoping that we are not giving an opportunity to counties, particularly to be in a position to undertake projects of this nature and use them as rent-seeking instruments or devices to fill the pockets of those who will undertake them on behalf of the people of the counties and the national Government. One would remember in the period where PPP became popular in this country, our people lost money. Some of the projects floundered even at the time of inception. Therefore, I hope that the mechanism that has been set here, particularly undertaking feasibility studies; that these studies would be proper studies carried out. For example, if the designs are required before project implementation, then they will be done properly and in the interest of the public."
