"content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion. I come from an area that is arid. Turkana County has 77,000 square kilometres. You can imagine that out of the whole of this area only five per cent of its area has electricity, yet the people living in this region are Kenyans who deserve services. When will these Kenyans get the same privileges that other Kenyans get? This Motion has come at the right time. We require this liberalization of power distribution immediately. Oil has been discovered in Turkana County. There are big machines that have been moved there. Do you know that all these machines are run by generators that use diesel? These machines are supposed to use electricity! We are not even fair to our own children. Out of 100 schools which have registered students for examinations, only two schools have electricity. Do you really expect the students there to compete with others in the country? It is really unfair."
