"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Given that there is already a transformer at Katangini Market which is currently supplying power to an installation owned by Celtel Company, I would like to request the hon. Member to advise residents and institutions within the vicinity to apply directly to the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) with a view to having them supplied with electricity under the KPLC new policy on transformer maximization. Under this policy, a consumer within a distance of 600 3512 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 8, 2006 metres from the existing transformer is required only to pay Kshs31,500 on single-phase and Kshs43,100 on three-phase supply, respectively. On the single-phase, the rate is Kshs25,000 plus 16 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) of Kshs4,000. The meter deposit is Kshs2,500. These add up to Kshs31,500. So, if it is within the vicinity, we would like to maximise the usage of power."
