    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the two centres, namely, Lafey and Khalaliyo, have no electricity. The two centres are among the five projects in Mandera East Constituency submitted to the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) in April, 2008, for consideration. It is, however, important to note that Lafey Trading Centre is ranked number one on the projects priority list submitted by the hon. Member while Khalaliyo Trading Centre is ranked number four. The latter can only be considered after the first three centres, subject to availability of funds. (b) The Rural Electrification Authority in its programme of work for this year, 2008/2009, beginning July, 2008, intends to carry out survey work on projects submitted from all constituencies with a view to establishing their respective implementation costs. After completion of the survey in September, 2008, implementation modalities will be put in place, consistent with the Budget for the Financial Year 2008/2009. I also wish to remind the hon. Members who have not submitted their projects to do so immediately. We are only going to implement the projects which are submitted by the hon. Members themselves. We are not going to implement projects from any other sector. So, I wish to ask the hon. Members who have not submitted the five projects, which we had requested, to do so, so that we can do the survey work and the costing. The implementation work will start by October this year."
