    "content": "Nevertheless, allocation of quotas to anybody will not make sense if it does not lead to stabilization of supplies and prices. What we have heard in the Kenyan market is that, prices and even supplies have tended to be very unstable and those who lose in the process are the consumers. I contend that a very well run NOCK is both good in ensuring availability and stability of supplies. In this regard, I want to thank the Minister for Energy. When we met the first time, I was one of the people who raised objections why the NOCK did not have a substantive Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for nine months. We thank the Minister because clearly when the Committee talks and he responds, then it means that he values what we tell him. I want to thank the Minister, for not just appointing a CEO but also realizing that in all the parastatals in the Ministry up to the time he appointed Ms. Sumayya Athmani, all of them were led by men both at the chair level and at the managing director level. So, thank you very much. We raised this matter because we were realizing that without a substantive CEO, NOCK was being opened up and being made an easy target for speculators and those who like to arm-twist to get their way. So, we thank you and we hope that in future this trend will continue."
