My interest is in the money that was appropriated for coal and petroleum exploration. I understand, from an authority, that in 2005, Kshs35.6 million was paid to a company by the name of TANO Metal Engineering Firm for drilling wells to get coal. Up to today, not a single well has been drilled. The company is still on site and continues to be paid. Could he explain why this company, which has not drilled a single well, is still receiving funding from the Government?"}
