    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will ask a straightforward question First and foremost, right now, Turkana especially Lodwar and Loima have been experiencing power blackouts. Even the Senate has a power backup because of the prior information that Lodwar and Loima have been experiencing blackouts. When I visited the Station, I was told that there was a contractor called IberAfrica who has been providing electricity for the last years in Turkana and the County has never been short of electricity. The contractor was changed and some generators were brought in which cannot meet to demand for power in Turkana County, especially Lodwar and Loima. Over that, I would also want the Hon. CS to clarify why there was change of contractor, yet the former contractor was performing well. You created more harm by getting generators that cannot meet the demand for power. Moreover, in Turkana County, the only Constituency that is connected to the National Grid is Turkana South. These other constituencies are just supplied by generators yet Turkwel Gorge Power Generation is just 35 kilometres from here. You provide generators that are far away from Lodwar town instead of just connecting 35 kilometers in Turkwel Gorge. Turkana County is not benefitting from Lake Turkana wind power. I can even mention that what we are only benefitting from Turkana is the name Turkana."
