    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that there has been intermittent power failures in Matuu Town and its environs over the last one month or so. (b) Yes, I admit that farmers and butchers may have lost produce occasioned by these load sheddings. (c) The circuit breaker which controls Kitui/Mwingi 33KV overhead line that supplies power to Matuu Town faulted on 25th April, 2006, at Kindaruma. This necessitated temporary transfer of the Kitui line to Kamburu whose capacity is 7.4MVA, and also supplies Kanyekine and Kyeni feeder lines. The transformer at Kamburu could not comfortably accommodate this additional load at the same time, especially during the evening peak power demand period. As a result, the three feeder lines were being load-shed alternately in the evenings. It is this load shedding which caused power interruptions that affected Matuu Town on a regular basis. (d) The faulty circuit breaker on the Kitui/Mwingi 33KV line has since been replaced and power supply to Matuu Town and its environs is now stable. The problem that occasioned interruptions has been sorted out since 9th June, 2006. Given this situation, this Question, therefore, may have been overtaken by events."
