    "content": "The other issue that also comes out as a novelty for this Bill is the sharing of information so that those who would like to invest in this sector do it accordingly. Of course, I believe that this will go a long way in terms of ensuring that we do not just profile figures in terms of reach but in actual sense we go ahead to extrapolate that so that we can reach out to the deficit that exists. It is during the 11th Parliament that Hon. Kangongo Bowen and I brought a Motion about reduction of tariffs. That has been effected. We believe that that will also have a direct effect. The estimate is that when you have proper connection, you can increase your GDP by, at least, 1 per cent. I want to imagine that this Bill will enable as many Kenyans as possible to get electricity. There is also a controversial issue here about petroleum. You can see that Kenya is going to be an oil producing country when there is a crisis in commodity prices. That being the case then the question that arises is in terms of the processing of this crude oil for value addition so that we do not get the shocks at the international level when Brent crude oil prices come down as has been the case. Even then you will still find that, that dividend is not passed down to the consumer. So, because we are going to start producing this oil very soon, it will be incumbent upon these structures we are putting in place to ensure that there is no shortage especially that which is artificial as has always been the case."
