    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, what this Government is doing with State corporations is that they are instructing their managing directors through three senior civil servants, namely, the Head of the Civil Service and Secretary to the Cabinet, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, and the Director of Procurement, to single-source items and give business to their friends. An example is the shares that were sold recently by the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) which belonged to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC). No procurement procedures were used. A company called Transcentury Limited bought those shares. There is also the example of the East African Cables which supplies cables to the KPLC without following the correct tendering procedures. Could the Assistant Minister assure this House that they will stop issuing letters through Permanent Secretary to the heads of State corporations to single-source materials because they are giving tenders to their friends?"
