    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to also take this opportunity to add my voice to the Committee’s Report led by Hon. Abdullswamad, the Member for Mvita and to weigh in on this conversation around the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project. We all know that we are wasting money and resources every single day in Turkana County. If you weigh into this conversation from an ordinary Kenyan eye, it is true the cost of power and energy has really gone up. It just looks like a mockery to the ordinary citizen any time they hear about the Ngamia Wells in Turkana County that were supposed to be selling crude oil in the international market, and clean energy and wind power, which till now as we lay this Report on the Table of the House to be adopted by this House, still remains a conversation leading to nowhere. The EACC was called upon by this Committee to shed more light in regard to involvement of the Kenya Power Company, the former managing director, the board of directors, the community, the private sector and private partners who were engaged in this project. As it were, the loser in this is the taxpayers who will continue to fund this project so long as it is idle. Nevertheless, the people who partnered with the country, the private investors, will still get their money whether the project is ongoing or not."
