I stand to support this Bill and make a few comments that I think will be useful to the Ministry of Energy. I want to thank the Ministry for introducing this Bill because I think it is important to give this nation an opportunity once in a while, to discuss a critical sector such as energy. Energy is very key in the development of this country. It is the engine of our economic development and activities. Once the energy sector has a problem the entire economy suffers. I would like to talk about electricity because I have five power stations in my constituency. The role of KenGen and the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) is important in the growth of this particular sector."}
