    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the Majority Leader is asking me to maliza maliza, yet he took all the time – I think he took a whole hour – to prosecute this Bill. I am, therefore, kindly asking that he also allows me to finish making my contribution, even though the orange timer light has lit up. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is passion to ensure that we serve this country that has brought us to this august House. However, corruption is part of the reason why there have been few deliverables in the energy sector. Therefore, even as we look at how we can leverage on our resources, we have to deal with corruption so that Kenyans can have value for their money. When that is done, Kenyans can then enjoy the various goods and services that are supposed to be generated within the energy sector at a cheap cost. If we cannot do so, we are actually reducing our competiveness. As I conclude, Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a good Bill which requires us to delve into it. I hope that it will not be subjected to mediation and that we will agree, within the spirit of bicameralism, so that it can be expedited as per the provisions of the Constitution. That way, we will then save Kenyans from the various challenges that we are facing with the Kenya Power Company and other energy actors who have not lived up to the expectations of our national values and principals. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support."
