    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Petition by my colleague. It is important to note that most parts of this country, especially the ASAL areas, have not been covered by national grid. It is high time the Ministry of Energy invests heavily in generators and other sources of energy so that those parts of Kenya can also enjoy the benefits of electricity. The national grid is just found along the highways and many other roads. Towns in remote counties experience a lot of problems as far as electricity is concerned. The national grid does not reach some parts of my constituency bordering Isiolo. Most of the tablets which were given to primary school pupils are still in the stores because the Ministry of Energy has not connected the schools to power. The national grid is far away. So, many schools need solar power or generators. As I support the Petition, I urge the Committee that when they look into it, they should also consider other parts of the country which have similar problems and strongly recommend what the Ministry should do."
