    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Minister for Energy, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that a total of Kshs10,345,000 was paid to the KPLC Limited by the Kangundo CDF Committee to supply electricity to the under-mentioned five projects in 2004/2005 financial year. However, this amount is far short of the estimated cost for the projects, which stands at Kshs40,875,000. The schemes are as follows:- For Matakutha Scheme, the estimated cost is Kshs1,770,933, while the amount paid was Kshs1.9 million. So, they paid more than what they were required. For Kamiti Scheme, the estimated cost was Kshs12 million, but they paid only Kshs3.3 million. For Kyeleni, the estimated cost was Kshs4.9 million, but they only paid Kshs1.9 million. The estimated cost for Kithimani was Kshs15 million, but they paid Kshs1.6 million. For Kinyui, the estimated cost was Kshs6.6 million, but they paid Kshs1.4 million. (b) Matakutha Project, which is fully paid for, is being processed for implementation. Construction work was projected to start in August, 2006. As for Kamiti Project, only Kshs3.3 million was paid, against the estimated cost of Kshs20 million. However, the same is also being processed for implementation under the KPLC group schemes programmes. Construction works are programmed to start soon. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the implementation of the three remaining schemes are pending, awaiting full payment of the quoted amounts from the would-be beneficiaries."
