    "content": "The information coming through is disturbing. We need to find out who between the management and the chairman of the board is telling this country the truth. Mr. Ngumi has been summoned to appear before the DCI to record statements on his role on the procurement of the Kisumu Oil Jetty. That is a matter that probably the chairman is trying to divert attention from by bringing up other issues. Those reports are mostly appearing in one local daily and covered by one specific journalist. It is clear to me that, that journalist is being used by somebody and the information we are getting is disturbing that probably it is the chairman who is sending this journalist to divert attention from his investigation because he is being investigated over the Kisumu Oil Jetty. He is diverting the matter to oil spillage. I am not saying that there could be no spillage, but as the chairman, he should also tell us his role in this investigation. You cannot have someone being investigated for corruption being the one purporting to restructure that parastatal. I am aware that Joe Sang’s term as the CEO is coming to an end in March. So, this could be a way of managing transition or trying to see how to manage the replacement of this CEO. If it is true that the management is the problem, why can the board not come up with clear policy guidelines as it awaits the changes that are likely to take place?"
