    "content": "Before it collapsed, Mumias Sugar Factory used to produce some electricity. However, currently, they have to download from the national grid. KenGen is the one that produces electricity and Kenya Power supplies. KenGen sells electricity to Kenya Power at a cheaper rate. On the other hand, Kenya Power sells the same electricity to consumers at a very high rate. We do not know what is going on between the two companies yet they both belong to the Government. I do not know why one would have to put a high mark up on the cost of supply. We know very well that sometimes Kenya Power is involved in corruption. So much has happened there. We are even told that the company is now in financial problems and cannot supply the power we need. We need to step up and liberalise the market and invest in cheap alternatives. That is the only way we will bring down the cost of electricity. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
