    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you know, when I make a contribution, I do not take a lot of time. I am going to be very brief. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support this Motion, and also congratulate the Ministry. Those of us who come from the rural areas have seen the development that has taken place due to the rural electrification programme, something that we have not seen for a long time. No part of the country can claim that it has not seen that happening. I think there is a lot of attention being given to supplying power to all our institutions. Almost all the schools have been given electricity. The remaining ones are in the process of being given electricity. Medical facilities, including dispensaries, are now being given that facility, including all public institutions of public interest. Water supplies are now being given electricity. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, listening to some of the contributions from my colleagues, for instance, my colleague who has just spoken, he comes from Nyanza and I also come from Nyanza, when he says that Nyanza has not been getting attention, surely, we should appreciate that, for the first time, this administration has recognised the need for electricity supply 3152 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 14, 2007 to all fish-landing points! That never existed! Plans are under way to install electricity in all the fish-landing points under the Rural Electrification Programme."
