    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) There are frequent supply interruptions at Garsen because the supply line is overstretched. (b) My Ministry has taken both short-term and long-term measures to rectify the situation. In the short-term, the Ministry, in collaboration with Kenya Power Company (KPC), has embarked on an exercise to inspect and carry out preventive measures on all distribution transformers along the line to Garsen. Consequently, broken wooden poles and cross arms have progressively been replaced with concrete poles and steel cross arms, respectively. (c) In the long-term, the ongoing implementation of a 220KV Rabai-Malindi-Garsen- Lamu Transmission line which is scheduled to be commissioned by 2013 will sharply improve power supply in terms of quality in the three counties. We have no funds to compensate those who experience power fluctuations. However, we will strive, as a Ministry, to ensure that clients in Garsen Town are supplied with quality power through the mitigation measures explained in (b) above and in particular once the new 220KV line is completed, the problem of power outages will be rare."
