Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has raised the alarm over the transfer of a Kenya Pipeline project worth Ksh192 million to a private firm, citing three major constitutional violations.
Through a statement released on Friday, June 13, Omtatah referenced a post where he had sought a statement regarding the transfer of the project, expressing his rejection of the response he received from the Energy Ministry on the matter. "I have rejected the Ministry of Energy's response regarding the controversial handover of the Kenya Pipeline Company LPG project to a private firm.
The reply was shallow and reflected a contemptuous disregard for the Constitution and the laws that protect public assets," Murkomen stated. "The Ministry ignored the Public Finance Management Act, the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act, and the Companies Act, under which the Kenya Pipeline Company is registered.
These laws are not optional.
