    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hold brief for the Senator for Nandi County. I hope that I will not be denied an opportunity to speak to the Statements because I have read them. This is a request for Statement by Sen. Cherarkey. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Energy on the pending power bills owed by counties to Kenya Power Limited. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a list of all counties that have unsettled power bills to Kenya Power indicating the amounts per county and the period the bills have been accrued. (2) State the role of Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee on harmonizing and assisting counties to settle power bills and other pending bills owed by counties to other entities. (3) Explain the reason that led to the recent confrontation and clash between Nairobi City County Government and Kenya Power company providing details on the status of resolution on the stalemate and a clear way forward to avoid such altercations and interference of service delivery to the public in future. (4) Appraise the Senate on the Kshs19.2 billion written off bad dates by Kenya Power and whether there are counties whose bills were written off further giving details on the additional revenues that Kenya Power earns from hosting cables on their poles yet the entity is reporting losses due to poor revenue collection."
