    "content": "The amendment Bill also gives various definitional updates or amendments that have been made. These are meant to highlight and make the responsibility areas very clear, for example, „contracting officer‟ and what it means. There is also „transaction advisor‟ and what it means. As far as PPPs are concerned, everybody starts with goodwill. But the more private and singular it is kept, this Bill tries to address the problem of issues that come as a result of singularity, rather than when a broad spectrum of people getting involved and not having the specific rules put into place to ensure that PPPs are able to unlock the procedures and issues within the counties. The adoption of a PPP framework reflects the desire for improvement of the quality and quantity of a particular service and its provision. It should be aimed at cost effectiveness to ensure that at the end of the day, the project has utilized the least money and produced the most advantages. It should also be about timely provision of the much needed public infrastructure, services and goods that are to be given to the people. Some people have referred to it as a performance based contract between the various partners, to ensure that unlocking of resources is made and that it is successful. It is a streamlined and targeted process to ensure that the goals are actually attained. This amendment Bill, to a large extent, goes on to provide provisions to make this process feasible, so that county governments engage with PPPs within a framework that leads to the success of those PPP agreements. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
