    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Energy is the enabler of the four pillars. There is a problem in this country. In my county, the Turkana Wind Power Project which is producing sourced clean energy from wind was completed a year ago. Just because we cannot evacuate that power out of Marasabit County, we are not able to utilise that energy. There is hardly any provision even now to enable us to evacuate that power and add it to our national grid. It is so important for us to complete what we have started. I want the Departmental Committee on Energy to inform this House of what they are doing about that plant which is the largest in Africa producing over 250 megawatts of clean energy which cannot be evacuated because transmission line could not be built because of procurement issues. The Spanish company that was awarded the tender happened to be bankrupt and now the Chinese have been given yet we cannot see any results. There are some hard issues in terms of energy that need to be answered. This House cannot just pass budgets in vain. Thank you."
