    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Energy regarding inadequate electricity transmission infrastructure connecting major towns within Turkana County to the national grid connection. This is despite their close proximity to electricity generation plants. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain why major towns in Turkana County, including Lodwar, Lokori, Kerio, Kalokol, Lokitaung, Kakuma and Lokichoggio lack adequate electricity transmission infrastructure to ensure access to reliable electricity, despite their close proximity to electricity generation plants such as the Turkwel Hydroelectric Power Station. (2) Provide a status update on all ongoing and stalled Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation (REREC) projects within the County, outlining measures put in place to ensure their expedient revival, where applicable, and completion. (3) State any plans by the Government to expand electricity transmission infrastructure in the County and connect the major towns to the national power grid."
