"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.153/2021 on behalf of my colleague, Hon. Kathuri Murungi, of South Imenti Constituency in Meru County. The Question is directed to the CS, Ministry of Energy: (i) Could the CS explain why electricity bills have skyrocketed due to various additional taxes and levies that are hard for our Kenyan citizens to comprehend? (ii) Could the CS explain why the following deductions are made by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) during purchase of electricity tokens by users, namely Fuel Energy charge, Forex charge, Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) charge, Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA) charge, Rural Electrification Programme (REP) charge and Inflation Adjustment? (iii) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to end monopoly in this sector and allow other industry players to distribute and sell power which would give options to users and lead to price stabilization? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
