    "content": "IPP that has power purchase agreement with Kenya Power is almost 300 per cent more expensive. Who are these faceless Kenyans? How privileged are they that they cannot be named? What are these contracts that were signed and who signed them that they cannot be revealed in the Houses of Parliament, so that we bring down the cost of power? Those are the issues that are live before Kenyans and that is why we included that specific provision of Standing Order No.56 (1) (b) on how much each Committee engages the public. I am sure if you go and say I am a Member of the Senate Energy Committee in any village in this Republic, you will not get to the second speaker when members of the public begin to speak without being questioned on the cost of power. We put in place that provision so that Parliament and Senate can be alive to the issues that continue to challenge the people of Kenya. The same can be said of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Sen. Mandago, you know UHC and we listened to the Report from your Committee on Health led by your Vice-Chairperson, Sen. Mariam Omar. It was a good report; fantastic on the Bills that are being considered and the business that is before them. We presently have live conversations in the country. The first is this business of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the second is on human resource personnel."
