Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it does not make sense that year-in-year-out, the Government is putting money into parastatals that are supposed to be making money. Why do Government investments, for example, such as Kenya Power and Lighting that is a monopoly, reporting losses? Such that taxpayer’s money has to be taken again to be invested within Government investments.
