    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the cost of power generation has increased massively, and that cost has been passed over to consumers. There is need to review the price in this sector to avoid disadvantaging consumers further. The Chairperson of the Committee should inquire into and clarify to the House the following:- (i) Why Kenya Electricity Generation Company (KenGen) has continued to purchase power from IPPs and yet, it is very expensive. (ii) The reasons for KenGen to continually purchase from one supplier instead of tendering again for new players in the market to bid. (iii) Give a comparison report on the prices of IPPs and other sources of power. (iv) Explain measures, if any, that KenGen is putting in place to reduce the cost of electricity for Kenyans. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker."
