    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of donor funded projects, I want to assure the Member that they do everything, and we pay everything back. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of CDF, it is true that in some areas, hon. Members have stated paying, at least, for connection and transformers. I want to assure you that we are only doing that where we have the Umeme Pamoja Project. Where we have the Umeme Pamoja Project, it ploughed back through reducing the amount that is charged by KPLC. In case, there are some areas where the CDF has paid monies to the Rural Electrification Programme (REP), then the money should go back to wananchi . Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of deposits that had been paid earlier, when we go to connect a project that was already in existence, we do not charge Kshs32,480. However, we ask the members to tell us how much each had paid, then we deduct that from the Kshs32,480. If there is any group that has been connected and yet, they had paid deposits and it has not been considered, they should come and tell us. That is not proper. Their money should be refunded immediately they are connected. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of levy that we collect; it is the same money that we use to connect other consumers who have not been connected."
