"content": "Those who accepted the offer payment process are 19; offer accepted and registration of the easements is in process at 18; another 4 per cent. Offer accepted with incomplete documentation are 6, which represents 1 per cent; offer rejected and we are working with the Ministry staff to make sure that we get through those 11 easements at 2 per cent. Offer letters issued, yet to be returned are 116. Other absentee landlords with succession issues and so on and so forth are 35. Those are the 502 project affected persons on that corridor, which will facilitate the interconnector between Kenya-Tanzania through Isinya. In terms of payments, as of 27th June, we have paid payment for land and payment compensation for crops and structures and have equally shown the compensation that has so far been paid, and what is outstanding in terms of deficit. We are working to provide the budget. In land, we have a total estimate of Kshs1,300,336,946. The payment so far made is Kshs1,076,592,279, with a deficit of Kshs233,744,670. We are working to make sure we get funding because this line is critical. Tanzania needs an interconnector because they want to pick some power through Kenya from Ethiopia. With regard to structures, we have a budget of Kshs37,086,902 and so far, payment made is Kshs36,681,379.53. We have a deficit of Kshs405,522, which we are also working on. In the matter of the crop for the wayleave, because we would normally buy the wayleave and compensate for the crops, we have a total cost estimate of Kshs277,817,105. So far, we have paid Kshs223,951,905 and we have a deficit of Kshs3,865,200. We are also working on that to make sure we do have the full allocation, so that we can do full compensation because we plan to finish that line in the next two months. In fact, we were targeting end of October to commission it. The total budget for that route is Kshs1,565,240,953."
