    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Statement. I want to start by thanking Sen. Khaniri for this Statement. It is a Statement that is relevant and valid at this point in time, in Kenya. The issue of electricity bills is of great concern and we need to see how we can help Kenyans as a Senate. Electricity bills are extremely high to the point that you will still find yourself paying a high bill even when you do not use electricity to pump water, bake or iron. One will still find exorbitant bills even when they decide not to be around their home and this happens even when one has been away for a month and has not used electricity much. There is need to investigate what is exactly happening at Kenya Power. Why are the bills so high? Sen. (Eng.) Maina has talked about rural accessibility of power energy and I want to tell the Senator that energy has not devolved to all Kenyans in this country. It is unfortunate that you will find idle transformers in some counties. The transformers are there but people have not been connected. Where I come from; Lumakanda, we have two transformers that are idle. I have tried to ask the people at Kenya Power to connect the people of Lumakanda for them to get electricity but this has not been done. I am one of the people without electricity."
