The concerns raised by the Hon. Members are valid because sometimes, if you give the counties a blank cheque people may end up borrowing. Every public private partnership has contingent liability on Government. So, I just want to assure the Hon. Members that if you look at Clause 6 of this Bill, you will see the constitution of the public private partnership committee. It consists of the Principal Secretaries from the National Treasury and Planning and representatives of the Council of Governors. The improvement that the committee was making at that point was to say that just the same way ...

THAT, the Bill be amended in Clause 72(1) (e) by deleting the word “periodic” and substituting therefore the word “bi-annual”. This is just removing the word “periodic” because it means almost nothing and replacing it with the word “bi-annual” so that it is definite. I beg to move.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this amendment regards the county project list. So, what we are saying is that a county government that intends to implement PPP projects shall submit a list of projects to the directorate. We are adding, “for inclusion in the published national list of projects under Section 26”, the ones that we had done earlier. Secondly, the same condition that we put on the national Government, that any project done should be part of the national development plan. We are saying that any projects done by the county government under public private partnership should be part of ...
