    "content": " I understand where the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Energy is lost. When the Leader of the Majority Party stood on a point of order, he said that everything that we do in the Appropriation Bills must be as a result of the Report that was tabled, debated and adopted by the House. The issue that Hon. David Gikaria is speaking about relates to Loiyangalani-Suswa High Voltage Power Line, that is, an amount of Kshs1.16 billion which the Departmental Committee on Energy in their own wisdom, last year, advised that we do not approve until an audit report is tabled before the House. That was adopted through a resolution of this House and when the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Energy, appeared before that Committee during the processing of this Supplementary Budget he reiterated that, that is still their position. However, this morning he approached me with letters from the Ministry of Energy that purport to be explaining the whole issue. Unfortunately, my hands are tied. I am unable to reverse the decision of the Committee and the resolution of the House until and unless… The other challenge that I am confronted with is that the documents that I got are just from the Ministry of Energy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
