National Treasury Cabinet John Mbadi openly clashed with the MPs over the controversial decision to strip the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum Development of critical agencies and over Sh55 billion in funding, redirecting the huge budget to the newly formed but yet to be operationalised National Infrastructure Fund (NIF).
The members of the National Assembly Energy Committee said the decision to transfer Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen), Kenya Power (KP), Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) and Geothermal Development Company (GDC) to NIF without proper approvals is a violation of their mandate.
