    "content": "Another re-allocation in this Supplementary Budget is of Kshs1.71 billion in the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, which has been taken to the Kenya Power Company (KPC). We had the Speaker’s Kamukunji yesterday where the top leadership of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, led by the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary explained the measures that the Ministry has taken to actualise the Last Mile Electricity Programme. Since they have been given Kshs1.71 billion as a re-allocation or an addition, they need to do more. We have a shortage of transformers, especially three phase transformers in the country. You cannot connect electricity where there are no transformers. Therefore, the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, through KPC, needs to look into this issue. They should use the additional money that they have been given through this Supplementary Budget to buy enough transformers, especially three phase transformers. The CDF of Kajiado South Constituency has paid the KPC for five transformers for community boreholes which were sunk in the last financial year, but the transformers are yet to be delivered. The excuse they have given is that they have a shortage of transformers in the country. I hope they will use part of the money that has been re-allocated to them for purchasing these transformers."
