    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the hon. Member who is misleading this House. His Question was whether KPLC has the monopoly to import and sell transformers. I am saying - for the record and benefit of hon. Members - that any person in this country is allowed to import transformers or any other material relating to electricity. You are allowed to do that. I have examples of turn-key projects in Garsen and Namanga. We have allowed the contractor to purchase transformers, posts, conductors, insulators and everything else. We have also allowed Safaricom to hire contractors and do the construction work under the supervision of KPLC. The message is: As long as you come to KPLC and get the actual specification of what you want to purchase, you can go ahead. Today, hon. Members can use their CDF money to buy transformers. All they require is to come for specification and we shall allow them to buy them. Hon. Members can hire their own contractors, as long as they approach us for supervision. You can even construct a power line. I, once again, submit that there is no monopoly."
