    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am happy with the Chairman for giving us the chronology. However, I want your indulgence on two matters; one, there is a taskforce which was formed by the President and they have handed over their Report to him. Since this is a public document, you can direct that the Leader of the Majority Party first tables it here for the Committee to use, since it is very important. This taskforce was formed after I raised this matter. Two, the various IPPs are all companies registered in the British Virgin Islands, offshore and Pandora things and are not registered in our country. So, we need the Committee to unmask the local ownership of these companies. Hon. Speaker, you were the Chairperson of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) in the 10th Parliament. This matter is bigger than Anglo Leasing to the tune of Kshs400 billion, with about 15 companies since Mzee Moi was in power and have been receiving huge sums of money called capacity growth. When I appeared before the Committee, I brought to their attention one of the companies, Rabai Power Plants, which in one Financial Year 2019/2020 received Kshs2.4 billion for not supplying. The other thing that the Committee must be aware of is KenGen supplies 78 per cent of their power to Kenya Power. The IPPs supply about 28 per cent, but when it comes to payment, Kenya Power is paying promptly to the IPPs and not to KenGen. As we speak today, KenGen is owed by Kenya Power to the tune of Kshs23 billion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
