The Treasury is targeting Sh200 billion worth of public private partnership (PPP) projects that will allow for introduction of toll charges for use of infrastructure such as roads.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani said Thursday in his Budget statement that the government is revitalising the PPP framework, which has so far failed to deliver meaningful projects years after being mooted, to give the State an alternative channel to finance infrastructure in the face of fast rising public debt.
