    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to ask for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Energy in connection with the disconnection of electricity supply to various water companies, especially in the western region. Those disconnections have compounded what has been reported nationally as a cholera outbreak in the region, causing several deaths. As a result of that disconnection, several schools have been closed ahead of their schedules. Similarly, the general public in those regions is suffering from lack of water for use and for drinking. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the difficulties the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) is going through. But I want to suggest that KPLC should conduct its business, not only with a sharp business mind, but also with a big human heart, so that we can save lives. Therefore, could the Minister issue a Ministerial Statement on that matter? Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
