• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, likewise, Sen. Nyamunga is serving a second term in Parliament. Some of us who have served with her in Committees know how committed she is. She serves in the Speaker’s Panel. I have no doubt she was picked and decorated with the medal because she is deserving. My sincere congratulations to the two Senators. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: I rise to support the Government initiative to put in place a legal framework that will guide the PPPs. Having served as a Chair of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), it is always a risk when you give too much discretion to any public office without putting in place a legal framework that guides the exercise of such discretion. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: I am happy that this Bill is a very good attempt to put in place guidelines for PPPs. I join my colleagues who have spoken ahead of me in accepting that there are many benefits that we can get as a country if we properly implement the PPPs. We will not be the first country to take on board this model as a way of bringing development and putting in place infrastructure for a beautiful country, Kenya. This has worked in many countries. Those of us who have travelled to Philippines have seen very good roads, courtesy of PPPs. We ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: At times when you travel out of the country, come back and land at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), you get a sense of some embarrassment on the way we have left that beautiful airport of ours to degenerate. I am sure if we took advantage of this new Bill, once it is enacted into law and allowed a private entity to set up a second reception at the airport, they will bring something we can be proud of as a country. I hope once this will be in place, the Government and people of Kenya will take advantage ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Truth be said; we have over borrowed as a country. I think our public debt is now heading to Kshs10 trillion if it has not already hit there. We do not want this culture of borrowing on behalf of our grandchildren. If we can have private companies that have view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: 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. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: finance who can come in and enter into PPPs with the Government, then we will escape borrowing. Why not? view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: We will also get the advantage of putting in place good infrastructure such as the example I have given of a good terminal and JKIA. Leadership is about giving services to our people. As I support this Bill, when we talk of PPPs let us also give space to the private sector. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: I have looked at the composition of the PPPs Committee in Clause 6 of this Bill and I think there is a lot of emphasis on Government representation but we are leaving out the private sector. If as the heading says it is a PPP, we need to give good space in the Committee to the private sector. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Looking into this Bill, we will take into account the many private organizations we have in this country that can be represented in this Committee. For example, the Kenya Private Sector Alliance has been at the forefront in fighting for integrity in the public sector. They are the ones who came up with so many proposals that were to guide amendments to anti-corruption legislations in this country so that we make doing business easier without necessarily having corruption cartels dictating how business is done between Government and the private sector. I hope we will be able to take consideration of ... view
