The National Assembly's Public Investments Committee on Commercial Affairs and Energy has threatened to take disciplinary action against Chris Kiptoo, Principal Secretary at the National Treasury, for failing to appear before it to address a Ksh30 billion power debt crisis.
The session, scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, was called off after the Treasury failed to attend a crucial meeting aimed at providing solutions to Kenya Power's financial woes, which are tied to stalled rural electrification projects. The committee has now directed the PS to appear next Tuesday without fail or risk further parliamentary sanctions. "This Committee is not a rubber stamp.
If the PS does not appear, we will escalate the matter.
We want solutions, not excuses," stated Committee Chairperson, David Pkosing.
