    "content": "struggling. It is cheaper to import power from Ethiopia, yet we have capacity to produce 10,000 Megawatts from geothermal. There are those who have been allocated blocks as speculators and have not generated. We have recommended that the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum terminates all licenses that have been given out to people who have overstayed and would not have done anything on those blocks. We will pursue on Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). Some of the challenge that they tell us when we meet them is that some of the regulations have stayed for too long at the Attorney General’s office. We will be writing to the Attorney-General’s office to ensure that regulations sent there need to be released quickly. I remember even in the last Parliament, we had close to third regulations by the Communication Authority of Kenya (CAK) that lied in the Attorney-General’s office without being released. Maybe we need to give timelines as part of the amendment of this report as it has been said by Members. Thank you. I request and urge my colleagues to please assist us to pass this Report. We will ensure that the cost of power soon goes down."
