    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Energy on a matter of national concern regarding payments made by Kenya Power to independent power producers under take-or-pay contracts, specifically in relation to electricity that is ultimately lost due to high idle capacity. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) The total amount paid by Kenya Power to independent power producers over the last two financial years, including the volume of power purchased and the total cost incurred by the utility company. (2) The amount within these payments that relates to electricity paid for but not consumed, classified as idle capacity under the take-or-pay contracts. (3) The mitigating measures in place to shield consumers from the cost of unused power and to prevent inefficiencies, mismanagement or potential abuse of the take-or-pay framework."
