In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Outline the criteria used and factors considered in calculating the proposed energy tariffs noting the rising cost of living amidst unreliable energy supply. (2) Table a report on the proposed energy tariffs in comparison to the current tariffs, stating reasons for the changes. (3) State the current energy mix and how the proposed energy tariffs will impact households, businesses and industries, outlining measures if any to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development in Kenya. (4) Outline targeted measures if any to encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power for home usage, while indicating their impact on the proposed energy tariffs on the overall cost of production on the local industries. (5) State mechanisms in place to ensure appropriate allocation of funds, detailing ways in which the revenue generated from the proposed energy tariffs will be utilized. (6) Outline plans by the Government if any to increase access to electricity in rural areas and how the proposed energy tariffs will facilitate the efforts. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
