Here’s a shocking truth: Members of Parliament have quietly dropped their demand to investigate the former Energy Principal Secretary and ex-Kenya Power CEO, despite their roles in the highly controversial Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) deal. But here’s where it gets controversial—while these officials were initially criticized for failing to competitively recruit the firm and neglecting a crucial risk assessment before approving the Marsabit County wind farm, MPs have now seemingly turned a blind eye. This sudden retreat raises more questions than answers.
The LTWP deal has long been a thorn in the side of Kenya’s energy sector, with critics arguing that the project was rushed through without proper scrutiny. And this is the part most people miss—the alleged lack of competitive bidding and risk assessment could have far-reaching implications for public funds and energy security. So, why the sudden silence from Parliament? Is it a case of political convenience, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?
