    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will refer to him as the Chairman, Rev. Mutava Musyimi. On the question that I raised – and it was so serious - on the issue of nepotism, the Committee went ahead and called the Registrar, Gachengo, to give evidence on whether she knew some of those suppliers. Suppliers like Timetrax, G.L. Williams, Cart Michaels and others. The names that were given - and that was the most serious allegation that I had raised--- Despite Gachengo giving the names of the owners of those companies - Broad Vision and the others - this Committee’s conclusion was that it could not go further to investigate because the addresses were not given by the Registrar. An issue so serious like this one; on which the Committee had a lead on where to get the information, it did not bother to go ahead, now that it knew the companies, to verify the names. That is because already, those companies were awarded contracts to supply. Those companies were issued with Local Purchase Orders (LPOs). The companies were paid either through cheques or banks. This Committee did not have time to just rush to Kitui, where Tanathi Water Services Board is situated, to get information on those people. That is because there was an indicator of the owners of those companies."
