    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to the Report that has been tabled by the Standing Committee on Energy. First, I congratulate the Members of this Committee. I took my time to go through it and I can tell you that they did a thorough job. The biggest scam in every other industry in this world is IPPs. If you look at how we are engaging them, we have instituted corruption. We are saying that we do not have the capacity as KPC to produce and distribute, yet we do. We are instead putting an in- between person to trade on behalf of the Government. When the Kenya Kwanza Government came in, we wanted to have a commission of inquiry on state capture. People were asking what state capture is. You cannot be calling out names of state capture. IPPs are a clear example of state capture. This is because this is an intentional system that has been created to facilitate deliberate efforts to weaken an institution. Yesterday, I heard my colleagues saying that we should have transparency in terms of who are the owners of these IPPs. I absolutely agree with them. The first thing before we talk about how to disorganise or bring down IPPs, we need to know who has been bringing our country down. That is the first step to do so that we can put the faces of these cartels and see the beneficiaries who are responsible for so many children dying when we have power cuts. That is important."
