    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Tobiko, I came with the Managing Director KETRACO Eng. John Mativo to help me document some of the concerns and ensure we follow up. I am also here with the Managing Director for Kenya Power, Eng. Joseph Siror. Sen. Tobiko, your point is noted. As I prepared to respond to the question, I did take stock of the status of electrification in the public institutions particularly the primary schools in Kajiado County. There are concerns on the level of electrification in Kajiado East which we need to pay attention to. Today, only 45 per cent of all primary schools in the area are connected. The lowest in Kajiado County against a high of 78 per cent for Kajiado West and 67 per cent for Kajiado South. For all the primary schools, 44 are electrified. I would like to confirm that we have done an audit with the Members of Parliament on the status of electrification of public institutions. We will run programmes and projects to ensure that even if we seek for funding, we will fund them directly and not setting up a pool of money that will end up being used in other projects. We have heard the concerns; not only for Kajiado County but for all the regions where we get natural resources. As State Officers, we will be guided by Article 73 of the Constitution and pay attention to the people living within those counties and they will be rewarded accordingly. We will also pay attention to the concerns on employment with Eng. Mativo."
