    "content": "(c) any other case as may be determined under this Act or any written law. (2) Subsection (1), shall apply to power outages that exceed a cumulative three hours within a twenty-four hour period, where the licensee has not issued a twenty-four hours prior notice. (3) Where a consumer incurs financial loss, the licensee shall compensate the consumer by incorporating the compensation into the consumer’s bill by way of a subsidy which shall be an amount equivalent to the loss incurred as presented by the consumer and agreed by the licensee. (4) The amount paid as compensation under subsection (3), shall not be less than the amount the consumer would have paid the licensee, for power consumed for the period during which there was a power outage. (5) Where due to power outages, a consumer suffers from physical injuries the licensee shall compensate the consumer in a manner determined by the Court. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, after consulting the representatives from Kenya Power today and the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information, we agreed that the intention of this amendment is not to hurt Kenya Power but to, basically, keep them on their toes that they need to work. So, we have proposed that Clause 193A be further amended by inserting the following new Sub-clause (5) after Sub-clause (4):- (5) For avoidance of doubt, the licensee shall not be liable to pay any compensation pursuant to Subsection (2) if the failure, poor quality or the irregularity of the supply of electricity was caused by third party interference of the licensee’s electric supply lines or inevitable accidents or force majeure ."
