    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to begin by thanking my Chair for bringing this important Statement. I was a Member of the Committee on Energy in the previous Parliament and we did quite a lot of work in regards to trying to deal with the cost of electricity. One of the biggest problems that we had was that KP borrowed money in US dollars at very high interest rates. We need to do something to reduce or refinance those loans in order to tackle that issue. The second problem that I hope the Committee will assist us on is the issue of faulty transformers, which is like musical chairs or blame game. The Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) said that the transformers that were handed over to the KP were faulty. On the other hand, the KP said that they were never given the transformers. We need to carry out an audit to establish two things. Firstly, we need to know the percentage of access to electricity in each of the 47 counties. Secondly, because our time is limited on this matter, we must support the idea of doing away with monopoly of the KP. Transmara Sugar Company in Narok County can produce and sell electricity in the whole of Narok County using bagasse."
