    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, as his senior, he has no option but to listen when I speak. I wanted to inform Sen. Cherarkey that Kenya imports significant power from Ethiopia. What he is asking for is already happening. The only challenge that we have is that to do transmission lines from the sub-station closest to Mandera Town, it is quite a significant investment. That is why that has not been done over the years. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Ali Roba is here. During the last visit by the President last month, it was agreed that instead of having to wait for power the closest sub-station, which is hundreds of kilometres away, the residents should be connected to power from Ethiopia and we pay alongside the power that we import. Therefore, Sen. Cherarkey’s proposal is already being implemented, albeit with much delay. It needs to be expedited, especially during this Holy Month of Ramadhan. I thank you."
