    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as we wait for the Public Procurement and Disposal Act to be operationalized, some of the Permanent Secretaries use their powers or offices to direct State corporations to procure goods and services without going through the procurement procedures. A good example is the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC). I would like to lay on the Table, documents showing a letter which was written by the Permanent Secretary on 16th December to the Managing Director of the KPLC directing him, among other things, to directly purchase poles from local farmers without going through the procurement process. Could 412 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 6, 2006 the Assistant Minister explain the action his Ministry is taking against Accounting Officers who flout the existing regulations?"
