    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also support my colleague, hon. Mbadi. The grievances of KBC have not been taken seriously by the Government. First of all, KBC is employing far too many individuals as there are many Kenyans who really need jobs. It cannot, therefore, be expected to compete in the media business so as to make money enough to pay the staff. My Committee has recommended several times that the Minister for Finance takes serious action and approach the Government of Japan to write off a huge bill resulting from equipment that was dumped in this country many years ago. I am talking about the AM Radio Equipment which consumes over Kshs30 million in power. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Treasury has not taken any action in this regard. It will be prudent that the Minister takes action by contacting the Japanese Government to let this thing go. This is because this equipment was brought into the country when that technology was already obsolete. Why did the Government of Kenya buy this equipment? This is causing a huge financial burden to the corporation. I beg to support."
