"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a notice of Motion on incessant high electricity costs in Kenya. I beg to give a Notice of Motion of the following Motion - THAT, AWARE THAT energy is an essential factor of production and its total consumption is a major determinant of performance of the economy with its cost and reliability spurring or stifling economic growth; FURTHER AWARE THAT there has been a significant growth in the demand for electricity in Kenya driven by economic growth, increased efforts towards rural electrification, and reinforcement of the transmission and distribution grids while the supply has been constrained majorly due to the over-reliance on hydro-electric power generating plants that have been negatively impacted by perennial drought experienced in the country; NOTING THAT imbalance in the demand and supply of power coupled with payments by the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) for produced power not consumed power and fluctuation in the foreign exchange rates contribute to the high cost of electricity;"
