    "content": "The provision of this Act shall apply to contracts for design, financing, construction, operation, equipping – this is medical leasing equipment – management or maintenance of a project or the provision of public services undertaken as public-private partnerships. I think that we must put a little more caveat when it comes to provision of health. My brother, Sen. Sakaja, has talked about borrowing. Under Article 212 of the Constitution, counties are required now to borrow. There was a caveat to stop counties from borrowing on the first three years of devolution. The three years have lapsed, but there is no framework for approval. To answer Sen. Sakaja on the question of the involvement of the Senate, we toyed with the idea, but do not want a situation where we micro-manage the counties. We would rather have a situation where, if it is a conditional grant and a PPP project or a loan under Article 212 of the Constitution, there should be framework and policy document that dictates how that reporting must come to the Senate, the same way the Controller of Budget reports quarterly."
