    "content": "will be connected under this component, thereby increasing access by a further 985,000 Kenyans. In addition, the European Investment Bank (EIB) has proposed to support the LMCP by providing financing up to €70 million. The funds from EIB will be co-financed with the ADB for the LMCP phase described above. A total of 115,680 customers will be connected under this component thereby increasing access by a further 580,000 Kenyans. The GOK in a programme dubbed GOK Last Mile has also put counterpart funds into the LMCP as other development partners including Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and others continue to show interest so that they can increase connectivity. (c) Explain the plans that the Government has put in place to connect electricity to the premises of Kenyans living in a radius more than 500 metres from an existing transformer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to be able to connect electricity outside 600 metres radius of existing transformers and also loads of three phase and above 8KVA, Kenya Power will need more support from the Government and other donors. As mentioned in part (b), the transformers densification through World Bank under the International Development Association (IDA) at a cost of US$150 million across the country is one such initiative to increase reach. Kenya Power has pre-invested projects and is seeking more support from the Government and other donors in order to finance the network expansion to all areas in Kenya. The actively engaged partners are ADB, World Bank, Alternative Dutch Fund (ADF) and EIB, among others."
