    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a frivolous petition. The citizens of this country enjoy their rights under the Constitution. Our Standing Orders allow them to present petitions to the House. The House cannot use the resources allocated to it to discuss and approve an illegality. In the Energy Bill, which we passed in this House and is before the Senate, penalties are imposed on those who are involved in illegal connections. The whole of that village was enjoying an illegality. They were enjoying consumption of electricity and that is why KPLC had to use the police to deal with that illegality. The Committee, in its report, must tell all Kenyans that under the Jubilee Administration, power is affordable and cheap. They do not need illegal connections. They can easily afford electricity under the Last Mile Connectivity Programme. The Departmental Committee on Energy should tell those great Kenyans from that village, when they appear before them, that it is not like before. Electricity is now affordable and accessible. Each and every citizen of our country can get electricity at a cheap price."
