Let us not give Public Private Partnership (PPP) and privately initiated projects a bad name by negotiating deals opaquely. As we may all know, we have two privately initiated proposals from two international players bidding to develop the High Grand Falls Multi-Purpose Dam on the Tana River, Tharaka Nithi Country.

The first is from a consortium led by the British Company known as GBM Consortium Ltd and the second from one of the largest developers of electricity projects internationally, the State-owned EDF of France.
