    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I have a petition from the residents of Homa Bay County. We, the undersigned concerned citizens of Homa Bay County, being citizens of Kenya, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, aware that the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) is a company owned 100 per cent by the Government of Kenya and is mandated to fast-track the development of geothermal resources in the country; Concerned that the recent restructuring of the company’s management leading to the appointment of seven new general managers was undertaken without a strong basis or a clear purpose; Further concerned that the controversial restructuring was possibly meant to micromanage future operations of the company upon the expiry of the current Managing Director’s term; That, there having been inordinate delays in implementing the company’s work plan, including the delivery of 105 megawatts of power by December 2014, is most likely caused by poor and erratic management policies and practices; That, the projected costs indicated in the revised work plan are questionable and are likely not to yield value for money due to the taxpayers’ investment; Noting that intervention efforts at addressing the operational challenges of the company are best handled by appropriate Government agencies, including the office of the Auditor-General, and noting further that the issues in respect of which this petition is made are not pending before any court of law or any constitutional or legal body; Your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
