    "content": "electricity access by our people. That is why this Government led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto is in power for the second term. It is true we have not realised capacity of 5,000 megawatts. We are only doing 2,950 megawatts which translates to 73 per cent power access to households and schools. With access to electricity in schools, our children will get quality education. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many challenges dogging the electricity sector in this country. One of them is the issue of replacement of transformers. In some places in Nandi County, they are taking more than six or three months to replace transformer. I hope the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy, Sen. (Eng.) Maina and his Committee Members, will ensure that they look into the efficiency of KP so that Kenyans do not continue to suffer as far as electricity bills are concerned. Yesterday we were told our sugar has mercury and our maize is not fit for human consumption because of aflatoxin. We do not want to die from electric shock and power surges in our houses. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope the Ministry will look into this matter and ensure affordable electricity is connected to most of our households. This will assist a lot to ensure this Government achieve its Big Four Agenda. Our people will start small manufacturing units in rural areas. I support."
