    "content": "The fifth question was on how much money has been paid to each of the IPPs by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) and the Ministry of Energy since the commencement of their respective contracts with the Government of Kenya and the KPLC. The response is that some of those contracts go back over 25 years. Therefore, more time will be required to extract and consolidate that data for submission. Again, as requested by Hon. Duale, it is not appropriate to have this kind of answer almost three months down the line. As a Committee, we will request your indulgence in terms of giving us an extra week so that we can request the Ministry to furnish us with this very important request that was asked by Hon. Duale. The last question was what urgent measures the KPLC was taking to reduce the cost of electricity to households, businesses, factories and other consumers, with a view to supporting the Government’s Big Four Agenda, especially in enhancing manufacturing. The answer is that there will be a renegotiation of existing power purchasing agreements (PPAs) for existing power plants. Second is the time of use of tariffs for large commercial and industrial customers. Third is lifeline tariffs for small and medium enterprises. Fourth is that on dispatch basis during operations, priority is given to renewable generation sources to meet demand while reducing thermal generation. Last is 132 KVA and 220 KVA tariffs. Those are the responses that were given by the Cabinet Secretary. The response is signed by the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Energy."
