    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to profusely apologize to the House for coming late. I was actually held up in a traffic jam. I could hear you calling me. As you are aware, there is a matatu strike and all the private vehicles are on the road today. So, that is how we got held up. However, I am ready with the answer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware. (b) The power interruptions have been caused by the following factors: (i) inadequate generation and unreliable power supply; (ii) very short periods and temporary interruptions due to the rains; (iii) logging at Kaptagat area through which the trees fall on power lines, thus causing disruption in power supply. (c) Kenya Power Company (KPC) has embarked on clearance of vegetation along the main power line from Lessos Sub-Station, which is near Eldoret to Kabarnet and Iten to sharply reduce power interruptions. In the long-term, the KPC has constructed a new power sub-station at Makutano at a cost of Kshs250 million to improve power stability in this area and other areas, including Timboroa, Londiani, Eldama Ravine, and Kabarak. This sub-station will be commissioned in December, 2012."
