    "content": "mischief they are trying to do, nobody ever knows. With this Government, you never know what it is all about. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to speak to the issue of public participation. They mention the Taskforce Report on Parastatal Reforms that began during the era of Hon. Mwai Kibaki. Hon. Mwai Kibaki left office in 2013 and these changes were being made in 2020. Honestly speaking, you cannot use public participation done in 2001/2002 to purport to be carrying out public participation. That is a threat and you are actually subverting the provisions of the Constitution. In respect to Kenya Power, they have unions that represent the workers. Failure to consult them is actually travesty and breach of the law. That is why we are saying that as much as there is something on record, it does not answer the Questions that we hoped to be answered. Probably, I will have to go back and have further consultations with the Clerk’s Office to see how best to extract the correct response out of the Ministry in respect to this matter. Otherwise, I can only sympathise with my colleague because he is a harmless messenger. There is nothing I can do. If I had the powers, I would have told him to return the response to the sender. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
