    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute and share with my colleagues. First and foremost, I want to thank the Departmental Committee of Energy. Some of us have been here for sometime and this Committee is different because one can interact with the Chairman, be it in the corridors or on the streets and he listens. But I hope he will translate this kind of relation to action. I come from Kapenguria where we have the Turkwel Hydroelectric Power Station which is manned by the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen). Before it was set up, people had settled there and were displaced as a result. It is very clear in our Constitution that if a project affects a certain community, the first beneficiaries through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) should be the people in the area. I have carefully read this Bill and it is not the first to come on the Floor of this House. Many have come and they are gathering dust somewhere. We will pass it with a clean heart and pray that is implemented so that it benefits Kenyans."
