    "content": "Turning to the power situation, we expect that power shortages will ease in mid- October. By that time, new generation capacity of 222 megawatts will be commissioned. That is enough to cover the loss of hydro-generation. The Government will provide additional tariff subsidy in order to minimize any increase in cost of power to industries and consumers. At the same time, the Government will introduce energy-saving measures. For example, during the months of August and September, we will distribute 1.2 million energy-saving bulbs free of charge in exchange of regular bulbs currently in use. This will save some 50 megawatts with an estimated cost of Kshs300 million. In addition, energy-saving devices will be installed in major Government buildings. The total cost of the drought crisis interventions is estimated at Kshs24 billion. This will be financed by contingencies and other resources in the 2009/2010 Budget, some borrowing and relatively small cuts of the 2009/2010 Budget of all Ministries and agencies."
