    "content": "On the Kenya Ferry Services: The Likoni Cable Car Project i. Fees Charges: The Ksh20 fee that had been prescribed to foreigners and tourists were far below international and comparable charges, which would severely compromise the projected income of the project. ii. Project Viability & Public Participation: The viability of the project was a concern. There was also the issue of public and stakeholders involvement in the conceptualization of the project which was not demonstrated by the proponents of the project. iii. Value for Money: How the project costs were derived and the value for money of the project was questioned by the Committee because the cost was given by the proponents of the project. Further to these observations, the Committee raised the following concerns: (a) The justification for awarding the Cable Car Tender to Trapos Limited as a non- compete, Privately Initiated Investment Proposal (PIIP) under Section 61(1) and (2) of the PPP Act, 2013). We questioned that justification without any competitive bidding (b) The Committee questioned the nature of invention or innovation by Trapos Limited to justify the intellectual property rights. This is because this was a normal cable car project which is being implement everywhere else but Trapos Limited claimed to be paid some percentage of the proceeds taking into account that they think they have some intellectual property rights over a normal transport system."
