    "content": "that we can adopt to reduce the cost of electricity in this country. I heard my colleague talking about the Water Resources Authority (WRA) charges in her bill. I want to request KP to check on double counting on WRA charges to stop charging non-catchment areas. I want to request the Ministry of Energy to investigate the quality performance of some of these IPPs. I am privileged to at least host three of these contractors. When we were with CS Davis Chirchir, it was very embarrassing to note that some of them were given these contracts in 2013, and they have not been able to achieve that. If they were able to achieve that, I can assure you we would be having 105 megawatts of electricity already generated and ready to be used by Kenyans. In addition, I would like to request that the Ministry of Energy investigates ways to reduce diesel-generated costs, as they are currently planning a staggering Ksh67 billion. As stated by one of my colleagues, we must also utilise our geothermal power facilities, which produce renewable energy. We also request that the Ministry expedite the construction of substations where transmission lines are set to transmit electricity. Lastly, I would like to request that the Ministry utilises other parastatals that can generate energy, including Kibos Sugar."
