    "content": "is one of the noble ideas that will come with the laptops project. As we look into the issue of laptops, we should also consider the other aspects that will come along with it. In my constituency, there are very many rivers. The river between Meru Town and Chuka can only be compared with the Amazon River in the Brazil. We have many waterfalls and one of our tea factories generates hydro-power. However, the factory is not allowed to distribute the extra 56 megawatts to the local community; instead it is connected to the national grid. So, if power generation is liberalized, some counties will have their own hydroelectric power stations. Due to power outages, in my constituency alone, in the last five months, three schools have caught fire and their dormitories and administration blocks have been burnt down. Investigators of the fires come from Kenya Power, but they did not want to take responsibility. In their reports, they said that those were acts of arson; this was so that they did not compensate the schools. No report from the Kenya Power has ever indicated that the fire was due to power outage. Schools like Kegoki Boys High School, Mitunguu Secondary School and Miruriri Girls High Schools have suffered fires caused by power outages. I support this Motion. Its implementation should be fast-tracked and a Bill brought to this House as soon as possible; I can see that we are all committed to this course. We need to put things right."
