    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I agree with Hon. Umul Kheir that the answers given are quite unsatisfactory. As we speak, there is no power in Mandera Town, and it started way before the month of Ramadan. Before we went for recess, I mentioned here that people do not have power, therefore, they cannot even charge their phones. As we speak, Kenya Power Company has not responded to the cries and the plight of the people of Mandera East. Even in Ramu, they have started rationing power. So, what is the problem with Kenya Power Company besides giving us these kinds of write-ups? Mandera East requires 3 KVA, not 1.5 KVA. Even if they take another generator of 1.5, it will not be of any help. I mentioned here that next to Mandera Town is Bulahawa where they use generators. They have never had even one single day of power rationing simply because it is run by individuals. It is high time IPPs were localised and taken to the counties. Let every county engage and do it. As a county, we can ask Bulahawa to extend the power to Mandera East and other parts of the county. It is unfortunate that Kenya Power is not ready. Let the people of Mandera East have power. If Kenya Power cannot extend services, we should be allowed to go to Bulahawa in Somalia to bring power to the people of Mandera East. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
