    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, providing electricity to Kenyans is their right. This is because they pay for it through taxes. So, the Minister is not in order to seduce Kenyans to provide what is their right. Notwithstanding that point, I notice that the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) is providing electricity by getting contractors from the private sector. While I am for privatising some of these activities, standards must be maintained so that people are not endangered. Could he explain to this House what steps the Government is taking to ensure that as these contracts are given to the private sector implementors, standards of providing electricity are ensured, particularly with regard to safety of poles on which the pylons pass?"
