    "content": " Thank you for this chance to contribute to this Motion. I wanted to put it differently from the people I represent; people who live in the slums. We have several slums in Langata. There is Highrise Ward, Kijiji, Bangladesh, and Kowinda. As I speak, these people cannot afford electricity and this leads to illegal connections. It is dangerous when we have illegal connections. That is why we have had more than 15 fire cases in the constituency in the past few months. Illegal connections caused that. If the cost of power will be reduced, people living in slums will afford electricity and we will do away with illegal connections. Apart from that, Kenya Power has taken away more than four transformers which they claim are illegal connections yet we have people in the slums who can afford electricity. I am here to request the Managing Director, Kenya Power or whoever came to Highrise Ward and uninstalled transformers in the name of illegal connections to return the transformers before we have discussions so that the people can have electricity. It is very sad that in the City of Nairobi, people still use paraffin for light when we are able to have everybody connected to electricity. I support this Motion and I want to really appreciate Hon. Njeri for bringing it here for debate."
