    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this important Bill. In terms of the amendment, I wish that I had the opportunity to look at the Committee Report. In future, I hope that the Committee reports can be circulated so as to give us the opportunity to see what our colleagues thought about. From the onset, I have to say that the amendments being brought in to introduce county governments are important for we must respect the two levels of governments that we have. As we bring the services to the people, it is important that the people and the county governments, particularly the elected leaders in the county governments, are aware and play a critical role in the development of this country. I am not a big proponent of PPP given that there are many risks involved and I hope that this Committee looked at the risks involved. Even though I support these amendments, I am a bit apprehensive to support it fully. As my sister from Isiolo County said and based on what happens worldwide, PPP is not for every sector. In the United States of America, PPP can never be introduced in public health. This is because they are never good and there is always the risk of distraction which might make people not focus on the need to provide the true agenda of improving public health. When the aspect of competition is eliminated, we have certain people being favored which brings competition and certain interests are developed. I do not support PPP in all aspects. It is important for the public to be aware of the serious risks that are involved in PPP. Sen. Sakaja talked about the issue of garbage collection in this country and Sen. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
