    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, privatisation, to date, has not benefitted the taxpayers. Telkom Kenya is struggling. Is it by design? In the past there have been a number of entities that we privatised at a throw-away price and they were eventually bought by the same cartels that engineered this privatisation at a throw-away price. This is the trend in Kenya and I want to ask the hon. Members here to tell me which privatisation has succeeded in Kenya since Independence. I want to jog your minds and ask you to state even one. The only one which we celebrated was the Kenya Airways. It is now on its knees. Is there any other privatisation that has fully taken place and succeeded? There is none simply because the planners do not plan. They plan with an insight that they must benefit. The process is flawed, corrupt and the planners aim to benefit. Eventually, the same cartels use the proceeds of what they get through the corrupt means to buy the same struggling institution. That is why today, Telkom Kenya is on sale. It has been in the media that they have been all over the world asking for partners The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
