    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to comment on the report that was read by the Chair of the Committee on Energy, my successor raised pertinent issues that affect this country regarding distribution of power and the issue of connectivity. It should be remembered that 80 per cent of the landmass of Kenya only contributes to 20 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). That can largely be attributed to the fact that they are not connected to the national grid. In the said tour to Wajir County that was undertaken by the Committee on Energy, we saw the potential of that county. Due to lack of connectivity to the national grid, they rely on power from generators, which is not only expensive, but also affects the environment. It does a lot of disservice to the people of Wajir County. This extends to Mandera, Marsabit and Garissa counties."
