    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the cost of energy as you see in the electricity bill is determined using various parameters. One is the fixed charge, which is a fee used by Kenya Power to cater for fixed costs like meter reading, billing, printing, postage and the rest. There is the energy charge, which is a charge for the customer’s electricity consumption within the billing period. There is a fixed cost charge which covers the cost of fuel used to generate the energy consumed by each consumer each month. There is also the foreign exchange rate fluctuation, inflation adjustment, Value Added Tax, ERC levy and the rural electrification levy. These are all levies which have been actually put as per the Energy Act, and depending on the parameters like the fuel cost and the rest, these keep changing within a given period. These parameters have been agreed on and they are within the regulations under the Energy Act. I do not foresee a situation in which we will be changing the parameters; the cost of the parameters will keep changing depending on the market situation."
