    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the five towers which went done between Kijabe and Mt. Longonot, we have investigated and are looking at the report on how they came down. Was it poor workmanship on the base? We were told that the winds were very strong. What we are doing as we mitigate and correct the situation is to ensure that we do not have the make-ship correction that is currently supporting that high-capacity line. We are going to get to the bottom of it to confirm whether it was poor workmanship. Therefore, are we really spending this money when we should possibly put it under the contractor who built the line. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question by Sen. Abass is something that I have asked the leadership of Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) to confirm whether we should be bearing the cost of correcting the challenge of the five towers. It should be borne by the contractor who built the line if it is established that it was due to poor workmanship and the contractor should be able to take liability. We are going to pursue that point. I did not get the second question very clearly because I was trying to read some notes."
