    "content": "I, therefore, urge this House to support this Motion and come up with a policy that will ensure that Kenya Power is denied the monopoly of transacting business. The cost of living cannot be reduced without dealing first with Kenya Power. The issue of electricity affects the economy. If we are not able to produce, or support manufacturers, or irrigate our farms… You know food production will have to rely on irrigation. This is because we can no longer rely on the rains. If we do not deal with the issue of Kenya Power, it is going to bring this country down and that is exactly what is happening. We saw people going for maandamano on Monday and they are now saying that they will do it again on Thursday because of the high cost of living. This issue will have to be dealt with. The Kenya Kwanza Coalition must deal with the issue of demand and supply, and the monopoly of Kenya Power. We must streamline Kenya Power even if it means getting a new Board. We must make sure that those who are brought on board have the interest of people at heart. If we are not able to do that, then we should diversify and give other companies an opportunity so that competition is embraced. Thank you. I support."
