We passed the Public-Private Partnership Act, which has very clear steps to be taken before implementing a PPP. You can be gracious enough to tell us whether all the steps proposed in the Act were followed to the letter, to the point of almost signing the agreement. Was the law followed?"},{"id":1495243,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1495243/?format=json","text_counter":127,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Funyula, ODM","speaker_title":"Hon.

Speaker. Hon. Ichung'wah has asked whether we had another PIP with respect to the JKIA. We did not have any other PIP or PPP with respect to the JKIA concession. Hon. Members, to run a PIP, you need to do a feasibility study, which is a serious submission. It is not a piece of letter. It is a very well-done piece of work after looking at the proposal's scope and what needs to be done. With respect to the question by Hon. Oundo, as I said, the PPP process is articulated from the time you submit. It goes through due process in line with the PPP Act. This includes approval by the PPP committee, project development phase, feasibility study approval, evaluation process, procurement of a technical assistant and PPP committee consideration and approval of the negotiated outcome. At the time when it went to court, we were drafting and negotiating a concession agreement; looking at some of the technical issues like the return on equity, debt equity ratio, value for money and so on and so forth. That is where we were, but like I said we had also gone through the due process and we were about to finalise the public engagement. That is when we got the orders and like I indicated, we are using this time to ensure that we communicate and provide information to Kenyans."},{"id":1495247,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1495247/?format=json","text_counter":131,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

Members. With respect to JKIA, in its audited accounts, it makes a profit of Ksh4 billion annually. As we are aware, we have over utilised JKIA, and therefore, we need a new airport. In terms of the traffic and investments we receive at JKIA, it is in the tune of Ksh200 billion. So, when you are talking about an investment of Ksh200 billion and your bottom line is Ksh4 billion and the fiscal headroom for an asset which is 100 per cent owned by government requires that kind of investment, the only route to go is the PPP, where we bring in foreign investment."},{"id":1495251,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1495251/?format=json","text_counter":135,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
