    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this session and Statement, my name has been mentioned quite a number of times. I acknowledge that the Standing Committee on Energy, which I chair, has the full mandate, capacity and the will power to look at this issue of high electricity bills and power outages. I say that confidently because, Sen. Olekina, sits in that Committee with me. He was there previously and he has the experience. He knows what they omitted to do last time. He knows that they were taken hostage by the former regime. Now, that we have the political goodwill, I assure you that we will get to the bottom of this. Sen. Thang’wa has referred to the speech by the President when he addressed a Joint Sitting of the Houses of Parliament. This Committee is conversant with the speech of the President and the will power that he is bringing on the table. We know the problems that have faced the power suppliers in this country. We are prepared to address them head on, so that we can get a long-lasting solution. However, I must also say, as we have discussed previously in the Statement on the resettlement of people whose land was taken, it is indeed unfortunate that this country has been taken hostage by a few individuals who continue to oppress Kenyans. It is high time we freed Kenya from the shackles of these oppressors."
