"content": "an old school or old village goes without electricity for months, yet KPLC finds it normal? It is shocking. I saw the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Energy, the good brother to Sen. Sifuna, hon. Opiyo Wandayi, saying that Adani is now doing a purchase agreement on that issue. The chairperson of the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing is familiar with what we are talking about. They were arguing that the reason they want to improve the transmission lines is because it has become old. I agree with Sen. Sifuna on communicate and clarity of information. The Government policy should always be crystal clear such that when hon. Opiyo Wandayi today says that there is an engagement or privately initiated plan by Adani to provide support or even purchase transmission line from Bomet all the way to Awasi in Kisumu and improve power lines, Kenyans will understand. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you do these things in secret, it violates Articles 34, 35 and 201 of the Constitution. Sen. Sifuna and my colleagues in the House, we should not be too prescriptive. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are a learned senior in this country having been classmates with Sen. Sifuna. Why do we have to be prescriptive in this country? We have to tell you do not do this because of our bad manners as a country."
