    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Energy on the increase of cost of power and frequent power rationing in the country. In his statement, the Minister should clarify the following. One, confirm that the African Development Bank (ADB) has granted Kenya Kshs4 billion to procure new rigs and equipment to harvest geothermal power as an alternative source of energy in Menengai, Baringo, Turkana, among other areas. Two, what immediate action he is taking to ensure that the Ministry puts funds into good use in order to cushion Kenyans against the steadily rising cost of power, as well as the power rationing. Lastly, I want the Minister to tell us what other measures he has in place to generate more power to avoid power rationing and ensure that Kenyans, including residents of Migori Constituency, where I come from, who are currently prone to power interruptions, have access to cheap and reliable power."
