My question concerns West Pokot, which is one of the counties that generate power that contributes to the lighting of the whole nation. However, the unfortunate thing is that during the time of the governments of President Moi and Kibaki, many wards, schools and many places were left behind and not lit, even though power is generated from West Pokot. What plans are there to light up West Pokot, bearing in mind that it is one of the counties that is generating power that is lighting Kenya? Up to now, even areas near Turkwel are not lit."

"content": " Sen. (Dr.) Murango, there is the Gichugu power solar pumping for agriculture to support food security. I think we have some very interesting programmes because of a lot of support on the last mile. I was wondering if I risk talking to numbers because I have them on my computer, we might spend the better part of the day to an extent where we have good funding for last mile. In particular, you will recall when we did a budget policy statement through Parliament, and they put in some Kshs14 billion. However, apart from the Government of Kenya funding, we have got very good funding from the development partners. I will need to check what is obtaining for Gichugu and the entire Kirinyaga County. It is right there. Nonetheless, for Kajiado, Sen. Seki, we have got good money. We just need to sit down. We have got some Kshs703 million for last mile. In West Pokot, I have checked we have got Kshs1.24 billion for that county with programmes designed. We have been spending time with the Members of Parliament to see how to roll out those networks. Where designs have been done and finished, you will see a lot of work in the last mile programme to really give power to our people. We have very specific programmess under the European Union (EU), European Investment Bank (EIB) and AFD. AFD-3 has so much funding. What you are giving us through Exchequer release is a lot of funding. I mentioned the retirement of a Polish Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) funding. There is another Kshs200 million that we are pitching to bring in for last mile programme. We will see an increase in connectivity and--- Since they are very specific to every county, we could seek to spend more time together, as we do with the Members of the National Assembly, to see some of your programmes and how they are going to impact, on priority basis, in the various areas where you provide leadership today."

"content": "I am answering that generally because if we go to the numbers and programmes in every county, it requires we do a 7.00 a.m. meeting with the county leadership, particularly the Members of Parliament (MPs). We can go county by county to look at their programmess. We can bring in the CEO for Kenya Power Company and Dr. Rose Mkalama from REREC and their technical staff. You can define your priorities, so that we can work together to see how we can provide power. Unlike roads, power is not very expensive, yet it impacts on the lives of people very heavily because it goes to the home. From a health perspective to economic transformation of what power can do and the kind of support that we currently have, I encourage Members of the Senate to visit us, so that we can see these programmes and lay out the priorities together. With respect to KenGen, Sen. Chute, can you help us to understand why you want it to come to Loiyangalani, so that I can contextualize? I possibly did not understand the question properly."
