"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that there are incidents where the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) gives \"scaring\" quotations to the public, so that they do not pay. I have an incident of a person who applied for electricity in an area where transformers were available, in which case he was supposed to pay Kshs32,000, but he was given a quotation of Kshs1 million. That is pathetic. We, as a Ministry, are addressing that issue by coming up with a work plan whereby wherever a transformer and power line is nearby, we give guidelines to the public, so that when one makes an application, he is already aware of the chargeable fee. We 2728 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES October 15, 2008 have also empowered the design and survey work by the KPLC by empowering their offices."
