We should support anything that will help us increase the capacity of connecting our people to the national grid and lowering the cost of manufacturing. Anything that supports local manufacturing is very important. When we support local manufacturing, we ensure they can employ more people. Therefore, I support it 100 per cent. We must also deal with the people who steal these important components of electricity. We normally connect 10 or 100 transformers per month. However, within the same month, we lose 20 or 30 of them to scrap metal dealers. We must be deliberate in curbing and dealing categorically with people who steal transformers.

In Kiambu, we realised that the same person who had been stealing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
