    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for the detailed answers to the queries that I raised in this House. I want to remind the Chairman that this question was raised on 28th July, 2015. He is addressing answers from August, 2015. My greatest concern was that West Pokot County has been experiencing frequent power blackouts until 28th July, 2015. The table he has given us addresses the situation from 4th to 24th August 2015. It shows that West Pokot County has experienced power blackouts during that period. I raised my request before that period. For as long as I can remember, up to 28th July, 2015, there were blackouts in my county. He needs to clarify this. When the Chairman talks about rotten poles being replaced with concrete poles, could he clarify who is supplying the concrete poles? There is a serious misconception in the villages where Members of the National Assembly are in every village, particularly in Turkana and West Pokot counties, pretending to be the ones supplying those concrete poles. I want the Chair to tell us who is manufacturing the concrete poles and which Member of Parliament (MP) claims to be supplying them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want the Chairman to clarify because after he talked about future plans, he gave us future plans and replacement of wooden poles from Makutano- Alale up to item number seven. He said that all the above projects will guarantee alternative and reliable sources with inbuilt flexibility for the county. I want a specific date when they will be ready. As at now, the whole sub-county of Pokot North and Kacheliba Constituency does not have power since the world was born and the poles have been in existence. Some have been eaten by termites as the Chairman has confessed."
