    "content": "Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I want to thank the Mover for this timely Motion. When I looked at this Motion and tried to understand it, the problem we are talking about here is about inefficiency which is taking place. I do not think that this may require another firm. For us to bring another distributor, it requires enormous capital inflow to make economic sense for another investor to come in and invest in Kenya. Unless we allow the free flow of power supply in the entire East African Region, we will not achieve much. Therefore, it is good for us to urge the Kenya Power management, they have heard our voice and they have heard what we have said. Hon. Bowen, before your bring your Bill, can they wake up and improve connectivity. Even if we talked about competition, I am saying here out of sincerity, it is not possible at this stage to get another investor without State support. I will tell you today that the last Parliament actually improved borrowing from the State corporations. We have already hit the ceiling on Government borrowing. When you want to look at that, it was a guarantee we gave to KenGen. The 10th Parliament passed it. So, when you want to look at what is ailing us, it is majorly corruption. That is the disease and that is what needs to be handled. That is what needs to be fought so that we get value for our money. We are not getting what we pay for; we are not getting attention when we need it. So, it is not only in Kenya Power."
