"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is one of the very sad episodes in this country When countries were going FM, we were getting a loan from the Japanese for a medium wave facility. Basically, in my view, I think they just dumped all the equipment that they did not need. But, surely, we do not blame the lender. We blame the borrower for not being careful enough not to buy obsolete equipment. The KBC has been unable to pay a single cent. It is the Government of Kenya which has been paying and we have now received a request that really, we are pretending that KBC will ever be able to pay. So, we are thinking of converting that into a grant to KBC, so that the Kenya Government now fully takes over the loan. It is really sad that we bought obsolete equipment, but we do not blame the lender. We should blame ourselves, especially the people who made that decision at that time."
