    "content": "I can clarify because it is clear that Sen. Cherarkey did not pay attention to what I was submitting and debating. I would urge him to be concentrating while in the Senate, because I said that contracts should be subjected to the courts and jurisdictions within which were stipulated within those contracts. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a lawyer of my repute would never confuse such a basic thing and I would wish now to proceed. In a contract that has to be invalidated, it would have to be taken to a court of competent jurisdiction. Finally, I would urge that the parties who have signed up the IPPs should now proceed to the relevant institutions to have a review or a revision of the contract. Additionally, the Auditor General has done a very good job. I watched the report as she appeared before the Committee in Parliament. She should now do what we call a performance audit in this energy sector. I have noted that she has done 10 performance audits in other public entities in Kenya, and she has done over 1,746 audits in national Government. She should now proceed with speed to do a performance audit in the energy sector. Performance audit would entail auditing every aspect on how this power is being managed within the Republic of Kenya on the costing, contracts and systems - why we have 26 per cent losses of the power that is coming from generation against the industry standard of 16 per cent. Let her do this audit and let this audit be the 11th audit, so that Kenyans can finally have an answer; small businesses can continue to run using KPC and the normal power without having to take in the cost of installation of expensive solar to avoid short circuit and having to use the power that is brought through the KPC. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and with those many remarks, I beg to support."
