Anthony Oluoch","speaker":null,"content":"Lastly, because my time is over, I would like to comment on the question of energy. I cannot fail to thank the Committee and Hon. Atandi for, through the intervention of His Excellency, extending Ksh500 million for last-mile connectivity. In informal settlements, including my own Constituency Mathare, one Ward has 30,000 people, and they have not seen electricity for the last 7 years. They can now have a last-mile connection. I also see that the Rural Electrification and Renewal Energy Corporation (REREC) will be able to implement this. My final point is that I support Ksh670 million for the electrification of constituencies. I hope this will be divided equitably so that we can have streetlights on high masts to enhance security in our constituencies. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support the budget-making process and the Estimates by the Committee."}
