    "content": "proud of; they are something that is clearly envisaged under Vision 2030, and every Kenyan or citizen of East Africa, will be very proud of them. It is because of this that the strategic importance of this project must be taken into account. Hon. Deputy Speaker, equally, there were challenges. I want to say this and I want the management of KPC to hear this: There are serious institutional challenges with the design, the tender process and award. However minor these challenges are, they must not be allowed to be repeated in any future major project. It is only through that, that we can ensure that such a critical entity like KPC enjoys the confidence of the taxpayers. The administrative challenges came before the Public Procurement and Administrative Review Board. The issues came first before a constitutional court. These issues must be addressed by the management of the KPC. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Committee made the following recommendations: The KPC should implement the process of enhancement and extension of the petroleum products facilities to other deserving regions that are not currently covered by the pipeline. We should not wait for 2044 because that is such a long time to come. What we have asked them to do--- This is a good one. Can they start planning for extensions to other deserving regions, so that these services are extended to every part of the Republic of Kenya? That is one critical recommendation. Kenya should also ensure that the pipeline capacity enhancement is constructed in accordance with the required engineering standards, design specifications and PIP price, which ensures that projects meet intended, projected capacity and desired needs. There are certain tendencies in Kenya and we must call a spade a spade. When it comes to real implementation, we allow individuals to take advantage of the taxpayers’ money. This must not be allowed. The KPC must not allow this; it must ensure that this project is implemented to the letter. We are saying that there is room for change. This is a critical national project, and it must be implemented."
