    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I totally agree with Hon. Nassir. This affects all of us, in fact, the low income citizens who vote for us. If you look at the amendment and the Reservation by His Excellency the President, you will find that he has made a step. It is for us now to improve it through amendments to the Regulations. This is a matter that is of concern to Kenyans. If you look at the President’s Reservation that has now replaced the one by Hon. Nassir, you will realise that it takes care of both consumers and the KP. For example, the licensee shall be liable to pay appropriate compensation to that person if, due to failure, poor quality or irregularity of electricity supply, the person incurs damage to his or her property, financial loss, loss of life due to negligence or avoidable default by the licensee. That was not there before. The President has really listened to what Hon. Nassir argued before the House at the initial stage. We did not have regulations before, but now we have them. That is all. The Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information needs to tell the Cabinet Secretary for Energy to fast-track the regulations to the House for further deliberation by the Committee on Delegated Legislation."
