    "content": "This is not a function of the national Government, but that of the counties. It is time for us to think of restoring the power of gas and energy reticulation and regulation to the counties. This is what the Constitution says. However, what do we have? Fourteen years after the passing of the Constitution, we still have the same setup of KETRACO, KPC and other energy setups within the country that are not compliant with the Constitution. We must find a way in which this role can be played effectively by the counties. In Tana River, power is only connected to the town areas, not the hinterland. Counties that are far-flung in this country have not been given power because this role that was supposed to be for counties is not being managed by the counties. I would like to use the Floor of the House to ask the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum to find a way to transfer this function back to the counties effectively and efficiently so that counties that have the most disadvantaged populations can access electricity. With those many words, I support this Report by the Committee on Energy."
