"content": "Why are we not opening up this sector by inviting other investors to come and provide reliable and cheap electricity to Kenyans? Why are we behaving like we are in stone- age? That will be a source of jobs. Tennessee Valley provided jobs to many Americans and it controlled floods. The other day I was at home enjoying an evening and then power went off. I never saw it until the following day; no warning no nothing. Even if you called the customer care line, you will call for eternity, nobody will pick your call and there will be no solution. I hope that the Committee that is chaired by my good friend, Sen. (Eng.) Ephraim Maina, can provide some solutions going forward. We cannot allow this kind of situation to continue. I do not understand why we cannot have wind power in Northern Kenya where there are vast acres of land. Why are we only relying on Kenya Power Company? The temperatures up there allow for solar power. We really need a solution because our people are suffering. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
