    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me an opportunity to support this Vote for the Ministry of Energy. I want to go to a specific area on rural electrification. This Authority is doing a commendable job. They have put electric wires all over the place but they have not supplied our people with power. We want our people in the rural areas to be supplied with electricity. The issue here is that shopping centres are being connected with electricity at Kshs17,000, while the rural consumers are being asked to pay Kshs34,000 before they are connected. These are the rural poor. Therefore, we are asking the Ministry to look for a way of connecting the rural poor with electricity and improve the utilization of the funds we have put into the Rural Electrification Authority. That is affordability by the rural people. Energizing those lines in the rural areas is a problem. It has been mentioned here by my colleagues but I want to re-emphasize it. I beg to support."
