    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the NWCPC has legal mandate to develop water dams and pans and drill boreholes in the country. When I became the Minister in 2008, the institutions’ performance was very poor, raising a huge public outcry, including from hon. Members. For instance, there were allegations of poor workmanship in dam and pan construction; high number of dry and capped boreholes. My response to stakeholders’ complaints and gross insensitivity was that, I called in the Inspector-General of State Corporations to investigate. The report revealed that the corporation had weak internal financial and procurement management systems that promoted misuse of financial resources and flouting of public procurement procedures, resulting in high pending bills, most of which were suspect."
