    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Finance regarding the Privatisation Act, No.2 of 2005. That piece of legislation was passed on 10th August, 2005, and assented to by His Excellency the President on 13th October, 2005. It was supposed to commence on notice. But right now, we are seeing State Corporations being privatised. Safaricom, Telkom Kenya, among other parastatals, are on the line to be privatised. Other firms have been sold to private owners in the past. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to know from the Minister why that beautiful legislation has never been put in place. This House unanimously passed it, and our gracious President assented to it, in order to protect public interest when public property is being translocated into private hands."
