(a) Could the Minister explain under what circumstances the Kenya Power and Lighting Company made a pre-tax profit of Kshs2.8 billion for six month period ending December, 2009 and yet power consumers across the country are complaining of being overcharged? (b) When will KPLC lower its charges to the consumers?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to show you how the KPLC has become a rogue Government corporation, instead of forwarding an answer to the Minister, they did one and put it in the newspapers. If they have the money and time to place an answer in the newspapers, it shows they have total disregard of the Minister and this House. I do not wish to accept that this answer comes next week.

On a point or order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Chair has previously ruled in many occasions that Ministerial Statements should be very brief.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Minister, indeed, is in possession of a document dated 8th March, 2010 from the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC). That document is dealing with the issue of the cemetery. In the document, recommendations have been done on all officers with the exception of three. The three officers where KACC was not able to proceed on are the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, which is an Executive Ministry, the Permanent Secretary and the Mayor, Mr. Majiwa.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You are aware that there is a Report by a Committee of this House on the same where the Minister has been mentioned.

10 Mar 2010 in National Assembly:
I am wondering; by allowing the Minister to make a personal statement, would it not amount to anticipating debate on the report which was tabled by the Committee of this House?
