    "content": "The issue of electricity is a myth to most homesteads in this country. You cannot launch an electrification programme and say each household will pay Kshs15,000 connection fee only for the implementing agency to continue charging the normal fee. Most Members in this House will confirm that the Kshs15,000 electricity connection fee that the President promised Kenyans has not been actualised. Kenyans are still paying more than Kshs32,500. Even the distribution and connection is not being done as promised. You cannot tell me that we are going to grow the economy of this country without electricity. Therefore, I find that to be a lie. The Jubilee Coalition has failed in terms of implementing their manifesto. They have done nothing. Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is the costliest in the world, at Kshs8 million per kilometre. Elsewhere in the world, it costs the equivalent of Kshs3 million per kilometre. I do not see why the handlers of the President should give him wrong information to give to Kenyans. We must tell Kenyans the truth. That is why I am in Wiper and NASA to stay. We are the government in waiting. Kenyans should be told the truth about the state of the economy of this country. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
