Perspectives
This article highlights the importance of credibility in the government's efforts as well as promises of change essentially crucial where rules and interests collide with established patterns of politics, patronage and profits (3Ps) in the development of PPP. This challenges the public sector to reconsider undertaking PPP/PFI projects for increased efficiency, greater innovation, and value-added services.
