"content": "also intensified maintenance of the main 11 KV Machakos Town feeder line. Vandalised transformers are also being replaced and erected above the 11 KV lines, with some of them being relocated to safer locations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to convey my appreciation to this august House for amending Sub-Section 64(4) of the Energy Act, 2006, to introduce a fine of Kshs10 million or a jail term of ten years or both on persons found guilty of vandalism of energy infrastructure. This is expected to mitigate on the vandalism on electricity supply lines, which has become too much in the country. Other measures we envisage to complete putting in place by 2014 include the upgrading of the sub-station off Machakos to 7.5 MVA; the construction of a 66/11 KV Sub-Station in Daystar University area; construction of a 220/66KV Sub-Station at Isinya to provide an alternative to the 66KV power supply line, which comes all the way from Juja and Embakasi; and the construction of a new Sultan Hamud 132/33 KV Sub-Station to provide another supply source dedicated to Machakos Town and its environs, including Konza City."
