    "content": "The other important part of this Bill is the so-called fund. Clause 221 says that a county government shall establish a fund for the purposes of promotion of efficient use of energy and its conservation within the county. The whole idea of a fund is very important because we know that some parts of this country may not be able to access power and, more so, electricity through the national grid. So, they might have to think of other sources of power. Through the establishment of that fund, the county governments will make sure that the money is used to ensure that most Kenyans have access to power. Access to power opens quite a number of doors. People are able to create employment. They will start small-scale businesses like salons and welding. That is important if you consider that Members of Parliament have many other projects under the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). If we get power into the villages, we can create employment through (CDF) projects at that lower level. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
