    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Energy. Could he explain to this House as to why Bomet District and its environs have, for the last October 9, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4401 three days, been experiencing continued power black-outs and a major fuel shortage, thus causing undue suffering to the residents. It is affecting the provision of services at the hospitals. Some facilities have stand-by generators but there is no fuel to run them. The lives of patients in those hospitals are in great danger. The vaccines which require electricity to be preserved are also going to waste. The shortage of this essential commodity has also affected the water supply in Bomet Town. The District Engineer this morning said that if power is not restored within the next one day, Bomet would have only one day of water storage for use. The health officials within the district will be left with no choice but to close down the restaurants and many other public places due to lack of water."
