"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this year's Budget, REA has been given about Kshs4 billion, which is short of what they requested. That means that the proposal of five projects per constituency that hon. Members forwarded will not be effected. We will not be able to do the five projects. However, we will do about three projects per constituency. That means that in the next financial year, so that we can be in tandem with the Vision 2030, we will ask for more funds. We will urge this House when it comes to Appropriation Bill, to ensure that the Ministry of Energy is given more funds for REA so that we can do additional projects and complete them. I have not given that as an excuse. I have given that as a reason why the transmission has been lagging behind. This is because of the REP moving faster. In the Energy Act, transmission was left to the Authority, but currently that is being undertaken by KPLC."
