    "content": " Yes, Hon. Speaker. This was a request that was sought by Hon. Tom Mboya, Member of Parliament for Nyatike Constituency. The first question, was on the status of replacement and maintenance of dilapidated power transmission and distribution infrastructure including collapsed power poles and hanging live wires in Nyatike Constituency. KPLC carries out continuous maintenance on the medium and low voltage network and inspections of power network with the most recent being done in the months of March and April. This way, they identified the weak areas and came up with an immediate action plan. The recent inspection identified the following: 1. Rotten, leaning wooden poles. 2. The line passes through private land, thus limiting accessibility. 3. Very many trees encroach the power line. 4. A large number of illegal connections. All these contribute towards the inefficiencies of the power supply in that area. KPLC has initiated a rapid response initiative which is projected for June and July. This involves: 1. Immediate replacement of the faulty transformers. 2. Replacement of 800 wooden poles with concrete ones. 3. Full maintenance of the existing 300 transformers. 4. Safety campaigns which was done through Remy FM on the 7th May 2025 and a physical baraza on the 22nd May 2025. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
