    "content": "The President’s Reservations here talk about, “subject to any agreement which may be entered.” As we are talking right now, there are millions of people who already have existing contracts with the KP, the licensee. However, such agreements are not in effect. The amendments that I sought were to give some timeframe. The President’s Reservation does not give any form of indication to that end. As much as the Reservations are constitutional, the President has already made them more or less into law bearing in mind we do not have the required numbers. Definitely, we will be looking at the regulations that the Cabinet Secretary will be pushing forward for the purpose of Kenyans. The economy of this country is determined more or less by the cost of power. When we have outages, they are an immediate cost to power. It should not be viewed as if we are against the Government or the KP as an institution. We need people to be held accountable when people are making loses. Since the amendment did not pass as we would have wished, we will simply wait for the regulations. Once the law comes into effect, within six months, the Cabinet Secretary should bring the regulations. I hope we will be in Parliament then and we look forward to that."
