    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, let me congratulate the Committee for doing such a wonderful job because these regulations are very punitive. They are meant to scare away investors. At times, we come up with regulations not necessarily to assist the common mwananchi, but with an intention of creating some business opportunities for some individuals. An example is in the year 2000, when there was an anticipation of La Nina after the El Nino of 1997. Some good people in this country imported very big generators that were meant to be hired by the Government and private institutions. God was not in the midst of all those who predicted the coming of La Nina . Therefore, it was not there in Kenya. The generators were imported by very powerful people in this country. For them to be used, they introduced an artificial La Nina by releasing the waters of the hydro-electric dams, so that their imported generators could be hired. During that time, I was the Chairman of the Students Organisation of Nairobi University (SONU). I knew from very reliable sources that an artificial La Nina was created. I thank God that, during that time, there was no electricity rationing at the University of Nairobi. We were aware of their ill motives and intentions."
