Mbadi soll Transfer von Energie-Staatsbetrieben erklären

Der Energieausschuss hat die Haushaltsanhörungen unterbrochen und Finanzminister John Mbadi angewiesen, die Übertragung von KenGen, Kenya Power, Ketraco und GDC in den National Infrastructure Fund zu erläutern.

Die Mitglieder des Energieausschusses unter dem Vorsitz von David Gikaria erklärten, dass die Übertragung ohne Genehmigung erfolgte und das Budget des Energieministeriums von 78,3 Milliarden Shilling auf 31,52 Milliarden Shilling gekürzt wurde. Energiestaatssekretär Alex Wachira sagte, der Schritt gefährde durch Geber finanzierte Projekte und forderte die Wiederherstellung des Budgets. Die Abgeordneten warnten, dass dieser Schritt gegen das Gesetz verstoße und zu Stellenstreichungen führen könne. Die Übertragung wurde in der im März 2026 genehmigten haushaltspolitischen Erklärung erwähnt. Der Ausschuss setzte seine Sitzung aus, bis Mbadi und weitere Beamte zusätzliche Erklärungen vorlegen.
