    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to request for this Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on Energy. The House will recall that less than two weeks ago, this Committee brought here a report which we all commended, contributed to and approved. Among other things in that report was the high regard in which the Committee held the managing director of Geothermal Development Corporation (GDC). It is unfortunate that emerging administrative and governance issues at GDC are forcing me to request the Chair to clarify the following:- Could he clarify that the new chairman at the GDC intends to drop Dr. Simiyu, the Managing Director, who was singled out as most qualified and most competent by a committee of this House? Secondly, could he clarify whether the same new chairman is under the influence from a highly connected senior politician in this country to ensure that Simiyu is removed? Could he clarify that regional and ethnic consideration are now being given precedence over the professional competence of Dr. Simiyu?"
