The challenge in Mombasa County is the fact that most generation is happening out of Mombasa, and we are transporting power to the county. The only heavy generation particularly coming out of Malindi ni ile ya Jua. Jua ikipoteakidogo, inaanguka. Ikirudi, inaamka . What we are doing regarding the challenges of intermittence, we are trying to stabilize the power, ili tuhakikishe kwamba Mombasa is well served."

"content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me speak in English. Hon. Senators, the challenge in Mombasa is that most of the generation happens out of the region. We transport the power to Mombasa. The power generation out of Weru in Malindi Solar Power Plant - most renewable plants like wind and solar are associated with intermittence. Intermittence is to say that you generate more power when there is wind, and wind is very powerful at night. When there is no wind, you have to replace it to take over and supply energy. This applies to solar energy too. Whereas we support Mombasa majorly with diesel generation, we have built a 400KV line between Olkaria to Isinya and Mariakani that will service Mombasa adequately with almost 100 per cent renewable energy. Mariakani is being commissioned in July. Since I am here with my team, we have had a challenge during Ramadhan. We will do more of what we are doing in Narok and Bomet to ensure that there is no overload or constraint in the transmission systems. Occasionally, this is because we are also building a line between Malindi, Weru and Kilifi. The funding is available together with the Narok and Bomet counties from South Korea and the Africa Development Bank. We are at the tendering stage for the one for Narok and Bomet. With the funding, there is so much happening in Mombasa. We recognize Mombasa as an important city during the holy month of Ramadhan and a water gateway to Kenya and the East Africa region. From the earlier meeting where we gave the National Treasury a cheque of Kshs5 billion on account of the profits made by Kenya Pipeline Company; we were looking at how to service the region better using our gateway and play that competitive advantage so that it does not go to our neighbors in Dar es Salaam. Sen. Faki, we are paying a lot of attention to Mombasa. The kind of investment coming to the region in transmission, power generation and looking at Dongo Kundu"

"content": "where we will take a transmission line; there is already funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to Dongo Kundu. The kind of infrastructural support is not because of Mombasa, but because making Mombasa service the whole East Coast of Africa will be significant. We beg for your support as we walk the journey together to address these challenges, which might not be finished during Ramadhan. However, I beckon my colleagues to ensure that what we talked about in managing the grid, so that we do not have small outages given the kind of temperatures and the lifestyle where every household needs air conditioning and the discomfort during the month of Ramadhan is addressed."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Cabinet Secretary because for the first time in the month of Ramadhan, Wajir County is getting power supply. Having said that, Wajir township is expanding and the machines are getting old and emitting heavy fumes causing pollution. What measures can be put in place? The station is surrounded by settlements and the pollution is too much. Something should be done. There was a plan for five Megawatt solar for Wajir County. Where has that plan gone? We are anxiously waiting for it. I would like to know the situation. What plan do you have for Wajir now that I hear my colleague here is almost getting benefits from wind power? Wajir County should also benefit from the wind power. It is a shorter route to Wajir County from Suswa along Naivasha. What is the plan for Wajir County to be part of the national grid? As it is, the county is growing, and we are experiencing the emergence of cottages."
