"content": " Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was saying that when it comes to Samburu County, we are not only just talking about Samburu North, we are also talking about Samburu East and Samburu West constituencies. Sen. Mariam, similarly, Mandera County is in our plan, and we have had very, very many engagements with leaders of Mandela County. We have had challenges, of course, in towns such as Elwak and many other places, on account of outages of power arising from malfunctioning of our gadgets, our generators. We have got a long-term plan to eventually incorporate Mandera County into the national grid. I must have mentioned earlier, Hon. Temporary Speaker, that for Marsabit, for instance, parts of Moyale Town are served from Ethiopia. Actually, we serve Moyale Town entirely from Ethiopia, and there is no harm doing that. There is nothing wrong with that because we are actually encouraging what we are calling East African power pooling. That power can flow across the boundaries. Those who need it can import it; those who have excess can export it, and so on and so forth, to make it affordable and cost-effective. There are discussions at an advanced stage between ourselves and the Government of Ethiopia to see how far you can extend their power to other parts of that corridor, apart from Moyale, not forgetting, of course, the fact that we also import that power to Suswa, about 200 megawatts. Hon. Beatrice Ogola, you know what we launched, what indeed the President flagged off in Kologi, the Kanyamwa place; is it Kanyamwa? In the Kologi area of Ndhiwa Constituency, was the last mile connectivity project for the entire Homa Bay County; a project which is funded by the European Union, AIB, and so on and so forth. That project is covering almost the entire county, apart from those other counties that are famously referred to as off-grid, which, as I have said, are being dealt with through mini- grid solutions. That Kshs2.1 billion project for Homa Bay County is not going to stop, because there is adequate funding for it, and we have committed to have it completed by November this year. Ndhiwa is definitely part of Homa Bay County and it will benefit. That is the place where we did the launch. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to go to the last question by hon. Mungatana. I am very happy that Tana River County is now receiving the necessary attention. My good friend, Sen. Mungatana, has been at the forefront, championing for the cause of Tana River County, and indeed the rest of that region. Those efforts are now yielding fruits. I am sure you are aware, hon. Temporary Speaker, that if I leave out the issue of the transmission projects that we are doing, Tana River County is going to benefit from about Kshs240 million worthy of mini-grids under the COSAP program. Some four mini-grids will have to be done in Tana River County, and the money is there. They will be completed. It will go towards addressing access to power by the people of Tana River County as we embark on other projects. Hon. Temporary Speaker, allow me to end there and thank you very much for listening to me."
