expenditure or management of public funds will come into play. I think we will benefit from the Committee. I have not seen the report, but I think eventually, we may need to go through these amendments with a toothcomb. The speaker before me talked about memorandums of understanding (MoUs). Many governors are getting into trouble because of signing MoUs. What is the legal status of an MoU? In my view, an MoU does not go beyond implementation. There are requirements that must be undertaken under the law in respect of projects undertaken by public bodies, including the national and the ...

However, it cannot be left unsaid that in the past, where projects were undertaken under PPPs, private investors willy-nilly made money in the end but public entities and the public at large never benefited out of the projects, even if missions were fulfilled and services effectively rendered to the public. I am hoping that we are not giving an opportunity to counties, particularly to be in a position to undertake projects of this nature and use them as rent-seeking instruments or devices to fill the pockets of those who will undertake them on behalf of the people of the counties ...

We need to undertake risk assessment to ensure that we do not engage in enterprises that will not make us move forward in terms of national and county needs. Provisions of Clause (9) are useful in terms of making technical assessment. The people would be able to prepare these technical assessments all geared towards procurement preparation and contract negotiations. These are important tools to use to ensure that any enterprise undertaken under this Act and the amendments proposed, fulfill their ultimate objectives.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wonder whether you will give us a little more time, for example, 10 minutes. Not for me, but for everybody else to at least acknowledge the presence such a large delegation from Malawi. If it was a small delegation, I would, probably, overlook it. The Senate Majority Leader was a bit restrained; you could give him more time.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I welcome our brothers and sisters from Malawi which is a great country. However, for those who were not alive when President Kenyatta was ruling this country, the closest Heads of States to President Kenyatta was Haile Selassie and Kamuzu Banda. This is a friendship that was establishment long before our two nations became independent. I also want to acknowledge the presence of the delegation of hon. Members of Parliament for outdoing us by having a woman President for the Republic of Malawi. Next week, our National Assembly is dealing with issues of gender. ...
