    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will give you an example. If today you went to Meru County and decided to set up a facility that produces solar energy, do you know that you cannot supply that solar to the grid of KPC? Neither can you be allowed to put your poles and sell that power around Meru County. Do you know you can produce solar power at less than $25 per kilowatt, yet, KPC keeps buying power? We have been told that there is a possibility that we have signed an agreement with Ethiopia. We do not know what is in that agreement. IPPs are still supplying power to KPC. What is in these agreements that were signed 30 years ago? Why is the Government of President William Ruto not able to interrogate these meetings and expose the truth so that Kenyans can benefit? I hope the President will keep his word so that we can dismantle the nonsense that is going on in KPC where we have blackouts and every year, they are changing the place where power is to be supplied to and are increasing the price we are buying power. Right now, the rains are heavy, there is excessive water, yet the reality is that power has never come down. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I hope that this House will do something about KPC and the power problem in our country. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
