    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning focusing on the following: (i) Could the Chairperson explain how the loan amounting to Kshs262 billion from the IMF will be utilised and managed to reduce poverty in the country? (ii) Could the Chairperson provide a strategic plan on how the funds will be used to support vulnerable groups during the third wave of COVID-19 in the country and which Ministries will receive such funds? (iii) Could the Chairperson explain how the IMF loan will be used to reduce the country’s debt vulnerability and further provide details on how the conditions set by the IMF will impact the economy and in particular matters related to taxation in the country? (iv) Could the Chairperson provide detailed plans on how funding of structural and governance reforms at the struggling State enterprises such as the Kenya Power Company Limited, and the Kenya Airways, among others, will enhance economic growth in these two enterprises with a past history of poor performance regardless of funds being provided? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
