    "content": "14.7 and 11.77 cents per kilowatt hours, respectively. Those independent power producers are making Kenyans pay for power. They are owned by people who mint billions. I will give you a scenario. According to the KPLC, in the electricity power generating agreements they signed with those companies in 2018, the KPLC spent Kshs64 billion to buy 10.79 billion kilowatts per hour from those companies and KenGen. KenGen produced about 60 per cent of that. Those other companies took away close to Kshs29 billion and it is in the document. One thing that Kenyans do not know and I want the Ministry of Energy to tell me is that under those power purchase agreements, there is a component called capacity charges. The Member for Gem started from a very low rank at the KPLC. He climbed up the ladder until he became a big man and so, he understands what I am talking about. There is a component called capacity charges where the KPLC pays the independent power producers even when they are not generating power."
