    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to get your attention. The good lawyer can wait for the wise counsel from the Speaker when he is free. As I was saying, this Statement is a product of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. I am glad that as a young lawyer you worked in that region. The Question was about the plan the Government of Kenya has to extend the national grid from Garissa to Wajir to Mandera. The three counties combined constitute over 70 per cent of the landmass of the Republic of Kenya. The first question was on the current status of funding, planning and implementation of the extension. He has said that the Ministry has planned to ensure all counties are connected by 2035 as espoused in the Least Cost Power Development Plan. “The most efficient power plan” is missing. Cost effectiveness is one thing; efficiency is another. As I look at this plan, I sought the same Question in 2012, from the then Minister of Energy, Hon. Kiraitu Murungi. Unfortunately, I did not come with the Hansard Report. The Answer is the same. That, there is no plan by the Government of Kenya 30 years down the line. Particularly, by the Ministry of Energy to connect a third of the landmass of the Republic of Kenya to the national grid. In this modern-day Kenya, we are being told to continue living and accept the discriminatory provisions or tenets of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. The Paper completely rubbished and excluded Northern Kenya as part of the Republic of Kenya."
