    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue of Kenya Power and electricity has been discussed here not once, not twice. That is why I want to bring to the attention of the Senate Standing Committee on Energy that is led by Sen. Wamatinga of Nyeri; that as they scrutinize or look into the issues of electricity, as they investigate, kindly have with you the President's Address to the Joint Parliament Sitting that happened sometime in September of last year. I want to quote what he said about electricity. “Concerning electricity, we shall facilitate the development of innovative and effective modalities to provide better off- grid systems, including enabling consumers to form small corperatives for that purpose.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer is here. The way to beat Kenya Power and get away from the problems it has brought to us, is to enable consumers to form small cooperatives, so that they can generate their own power through streams or rivers around them and other innovative ways. I believe in the young people of this nation. This Senate is calling upon you, to come up with innovative ideas on how to generate power. This is because the President said that they are working on a framework or policy to make sure that you are able to generate power."
