    "content": "That will help us to do an accurate based budget that will cover all public institutions that have not been covered. Thereafter, we will do maximization to cover all the villages where our people stay. May I just mention that between 2013 and today, we moved this country from 23 per cent access to electricity to 80 per cent. The Last Mile Connectivity Project is connecting to the homes. However, in terms of access, there is almost power touching almost every ward and village. We just need to do the Last Mile Connectivity and make sure that we connect those homes. It is good to note that when connection is done, connection fees are billed into the monthly tariffs. So, there is no entry cost to get power in our homes. We connect for free and the connection fee is billed into the monthly bill. So, we should accelerate that and work together to confirm that we have adequate budgets for those areas which are not covered today. I confirmed to the National Assembly that if we work together to audit where we are today, we should be able to close and finish connecting this country in two or three years within this term of Parliament."
