    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Cabinet Secretary in his response has stated that a number of residents in Kajiado County who live along the Kenya-Tanzania interconnector are already benefiting from connection of electricity under the Last Mile Connectivity Project which is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project. This line criss-crosses Kajiado County. The line from Konza City is connected to Isinya, joins the Kajiado line to Namanga. However, I request the Cabinet Secretary to get facts on the ground. The entire project has been in trouble with the community because they see a huge Government project that they have not benefitted from. Those along the grid were told to get their power from Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) as CSR. However, REREC has not done that. People see major lines pass through their land but do not have power. Power is connected from Tanzania which is taken elsewhere, and people do not understand the benefit of a huge Government line that crosses their pieces of land, but they do not have electricity. Residents along the grid have not benefited from the connection."
