    "content": "that Hon. Peris was talking about. This Bill will put to rest some of the issues that are coming up with regard to that line. Some sections of this country are paid at the rates of 85 per cent and 100 per cent. This is the case and yet farmers in Kajiado West and Kajiado East constituencies have been compensated at a rate of 30 per cent. This Bill will go a long way to ensure that the homes that have not been connected with power, despite the many KP lines that run across fields, will have an opportunity of being connected with power at very affordable prices. It is true that KP has been the major player in the field in terms of connectivity. I must say that a number of investors have been frustrated by the long process of acquiring a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the KP. This Bill seeks to cure that so that there can be diversity in terms of investors. If I have a firm, let us say in Magadi and I can produce power, I will also have an avenue to sell that power to investors who might come calling and not necessarily have to depend on Kenya Power that has been a headache to many investors."
