Two of my daughters, Jean and Jewel, are in that class. Together with all the other students, I wish them well. I support the Motion. The cost of electricity needs to come down. There are certain basic commodities which, if not managed well, you cannot live a good life. The cost of fuel and unga must come down. I am happy that the Hon. Member for Laikipia has brought this Motion. Next Monday, when we are on the streets, please join us. Those are some of the costs that need to come down. We want to have basic rates. Allow me to disagree with some of my colleagues who say that the problem is the monopoly. There are certain facilities that must be monopolized like the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). There are certain essential services that must be a monopoly. The problem is not the monopoly, but management. One of the things that we must do is to demand that KP, Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO) and KenGen, make public and review all the agreements they have entered into with private players, because that is where the problem is. The problem is in the cartels that are dealing with the public institutions. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
