    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Committee identified all the stakeholders and invited them to appear before the Committee, and to provide submissions. Consequently, the Committee met the Ministry of Energy on 21st July, 2021; the KP on 22nd July, 2021; the KenGen on 22nd July, 2021; the EPRA on 22nd July, 2021; the Business Registration Services (Formerly the Registrar of Companies) on 22nd July, 2021; the National Treasury on Tuesday, 19th October, 2021; and lastly the Attorney-General on Tuesday, 19th July, 2021. Hon. Speaker, the Committee also met 15 Independent Power Producers (IPPs) on various dates, starting with Lake Turkana Wind Power and ending with Rabai Power Plant. We were unable to meet Mumias Sugar Company because it has never honoured an invitation to appear or made a written submission. The Committee has gathered a lot of information relating to the terms and reference as well as the subject matter of the inquiry. We looked at the recommendations made by the Taskforce appointed on 29th March, 2021, by His Excellency the President to review the power purchase agreements. The information the Committee has obtained from the inquiry will go a long way in informing the preparation of the Committee’s Report, including the observations, findings and recommendations that will be tabled for consideration and adoption by this House. Lastly, the Committee has scheduled a retreat to consider a draft Report on the inquiry among others between 24th to 29th October, 2021, during the short recess."
