    "content": "Yes I have a further clarification, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the Report by the Energy, Communication and Information Committee is quite brief. It is not an inquiry as I had requested in my Statement. It is a brief Statement that they quickly got from GDC. My concerns are as follows:- That company has so far spent Kshs23 billion of taxpayers’ money and we have not lit any single bulb in this country. We have issues with the staff establishment. I would have expected the Committee to probably give us a list of employees because we have claims of nepotism. We have various issues with that company and I would like to seek further clarifications. I would like to know the reason why the Board Chairman was hauled out of the Company recently. He was trying to get to the bottom of the issues such as: The Company being managed by the Managing Director single-handedly from his house with no minutes of the Board. Finally, we have issues of the residents where GDC operates. We have been having demonstrations. We still have them even now. I think this report is unacceptable. It is a brief simple report to try and answer my question and not getting into facts. I would like to challenge the Committee on Energy, Communication and Information. They did not call me to their Committee. They sent me a text message at 8.00 a.m. in the morning telling me to go to the Committee at 10.00 a.m. I think I had further information which I would have shared with the Committee. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
