    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence to inform this House the seriousness of this matter. First, the Assistant Minister has blamed the Treasury for delay in duty and tax exemption for up to three years. Without proof on that, it remains hearsay and it is best imagination of the Assistant Minister for Water and Irrigation. Secondly, I visited the Managing Director of the KPLC, Mr. Dan Njoroge in December, 2008 having received similar explanation that the transformers were not available. He challenged me to show receipts as proof that we had paid Kshs2.3 million which was required. Again, the receipts were not forthcoming until last month when I last checked. I want to draw the attention of the Assistant Minister to Section 46(1) (d) of the Constitution. It states that a consumer is entitled to compensation where they do not receive goods or services. I want this Ministry to admit here now, so that I can go to court tomorrow on behalf of the 120,000 people of Naivasha so that they can seek compensation against the many sicknesses and inconveniences they experience because of an Assistant Minister who cannot perform. This is an Assistant Minister who is too lazy to wake and go to Naivasha to confirm the fact that Kshs280 million was paid and yet the project cannot be commissioned. Would I be in order, therefore, to seek deferment of this Question so that the Assistant Minister can come to prove that, indeed, the Treasury took three years to approve duty exemption and that KPLC even after being paid over two years ago, could not get a transformer?"
