    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member and this House that the Government embarked on the customer connectivity programme for the last five years ago through the Rural Electrification Programme (REP). Hence the distribution part of it was more than the transmission. You remember a Question was asked here yesterday about the generation of electricity. It has to be in tandem. That is why the Energy Act 2006 provided that we will have a transmission company so that the transmission lines throughout the country are upgraded. I want to assure the hon. Member and the House that the projects I have mentioned will be completed on time. With regard to the Kisii-Chemosit Project, apparently, that is where I come from. According to the answer, one of the causes may have been post-election violence. However, that is not the case. What happened is that there was a problem with the wayleaves. People who reside along the route were asking to be supplied with power. As a Ministry, we have provided power through the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) so that they can sign the wayleaves and the projects will be completed on time and commissioned by February 2009."
