    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the joint Committee recommended that this House adopts Sessional Paper No.1 of 2011 on the Kenya Government Guarantee of a loan of Euro39,100,000.00 equivalent to Kshs4,926,600,000.00 from the KFW, Frankfurt Am Main to the Kenya Electricity Generating Company for the rehabilitation and upgrade of the Kindaruma HydroPower Plant laid on the table of this House on Wednesday July 27, 2011. Secondly, that this House adopts Sessional Paper No.2 of 2011, on Kenya Government Guarantee of a loan of Eur 60,000,000.00 equivalent to Kshs7,560,000,000.00 from the KFW, Frankfurt Am Main to the Kenya Electricity Generating Company for financing the 280mw Olkaria 1 and IV Geothermal Power Plant laid on the table of the House on Wednesday 27th July, 2011. Thirdly, that this House adopts Sessional Paper No.3 of 2011, on Kenya Government Guarantee of a loan of Japanese Yen29,516,000,000.00 equivalent to Kshs33,353,080,000.00 from the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to the Kenya Electricity Generating Company for financing of Olkaria 1 Unit Four and Five Geothermal Power Project laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday 27th July, 2011. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that the Minister for Energy should expedite the transfer of ownership of all the 21 well drills at the OlKaria Four Domes. Earlier on we counted 21 but later on we found out that there are 57 wells that need to be transferred to the Geothermal Development Company (GDC) by KenGen because GDC is fully Government and these wells belong to the Government. Instead of owning them through KenGen which is a private company, GDC will now own the 57 wells. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I indicated earlier, the list of hon. Members is too long and I would just like to take this opportunity to thank the two Committees that deliberated on these Sessional Papers for the time that they took to analyze all the issues pertaining to the energy generation in the country and to conclude positively that the Ministry of Energy should get these loans. The joint committee also wishes to thank the offices of the Speaker and the Clerk of the National Assembly for the support extended in the execution of its mandate. I want to move the Motion and ask hon. Chris Okemo to second it."
