    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. The frequent power outages that have been experienced in Siaya Town and its environs have been due to the following: 1. Programmed outages to facilitate connections of new lines constructed under Rural Electrification Programme (REP) and the .Customer Creation Initiative. 2. Programmed outages to carry out routine preventive and collective maintenance as the main station supplying Siaya Town is on a spur from the line supplying other areas as well. 3. Transformer overload which cause tripping during peak hours. The following measures are being undertaken to correct the situation: 1. Upgrading the main transformer at Siaya Sub-station from 1.5 MVA to 2.5 MVA to accommodate an additional customers load. 2. Upgrading the main circuit breaker for Siaya Town and this is due for commissioning by September, 2007. 3. Scheduled commissioning of a 60-megawatts Sondu Miriu power generation facility by November, 2007. This will help improve both supply and voltage in Nyanza. It is hoped that these measures, once complete, will go a long way in improving the quality of power supply to Siaya Town and its environs."
