    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate my colleague, “super senator,” Sen. Sakaja for raising this matter. In my previous life, I was the Minister for Energy, and during that time we received grants to work on power lines along this area where people have settled informally. When we tried to do that, the then Member of Parliament (MP) for Makadara, Hon. Ndolo said that ‘ Mkiwaona wao mwachome au mwashetaa .’ I held consultations with the World Bank and they told us that there is no Government in the world that can think about giving some people power as they evict other people. We held consultations with the then President and it was agreed that before even thinking of supplying power to the privileged, it is important to discuss and see how to settle the under privileged. I am in total agreement with my brother, Sen. Sakaja that there is need to take care of the welfare of those who are least fortunate before we think of giving light to those who enjoy the privilege. I encourage him. I know that before he initiates the suit that he intendeds to; to bring compensation to these people, Kenya Power is unlikely to respond. I encourage him to proceed with dispatch to ensure that the most affected people are compensated. Even if other privileged persons go without light, you will be more blessed in heaven because you will be taking care of the less fortunate people. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
