    "content": "Listening to the answers, if the Cabinet Secretary can commit and assure us that the plans, as he has laid out this afternoon before the House, will be delivered then we are in a good place. I appreciate what they are doing as a team at the Ministry. I have one Question: When the Cabinet Secretary was responding, he mentioned the desire by the Government to move to 100 percent green energy by the year 2030 and the plans that that entails. Previously, in my life in this House, I served as a Member of the Energy Committee. I am aware that there are many people that you can call ‘tenderpreneurs’, for lack of a better word, in Kenya or in the famous capitals of the world, who are still holding exploration licenses for geothermal energy, which can help us as a country to access those sites and bring on show cheap and affordable power as opposed to the old generated power, some of which he has mentioned, like the diesel power. When is his Ministry going to take decisions against such business people so that we are able to enjoy cheaper power? That was a key promise that this administration made to the people of Kenya, yet that is yet to be fulfilled. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the next Question is of interest to you. If you want to throw me out, it is your people of Bomet who will benefit, just like my people. That is not a bribe to you. Can the Cabinet Secretary confirm to the House when they will commence the construction of this Narok-Bomet transmission line that will affect all of us that are in the western part of the country, to stop this quasi load-shedding that we continue to see each other day? The President made a pronouncement recently in his tour in Bomet, but we want to know when the works will commence. I thank you."
