Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is to put it very clear that in terms of standards, it should be the standards as prescribed by the CS. The person who is prescribing standards according to the Fourth Schedule to the Constitution is the national Government. And in this case, the national Government in terms of roads is the CS responsible for roads. That is what we are trying to say here so that there is no ambiguity in law. It should be very clear that it is as prescribed by the CS. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

So, we are trying to bring all of them together so that it is understood as it is within the description of a road. I thank you.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is good that you have given me the last opportunity so that I can make some clarifications. I wish they had appeared before the Committee during public participation so that they could raise those issues. First of all, I do not want to correct Hon. Kajwang’ because he is a ‘chief justice’ of another calibre. However, because I am the Departmental Committee Chair, I want to help him. First, the PPP law is in existence. We are not introducing any new law. Secondly, this is not an introduction of an amendment on the Floor of ...
