    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am also concerned on whether the addition of this extra source of energy will lead to a reduction of the cost of power for the people of Kenya. If you listen to the people in the industries, they say that Kenya has the most expensive sources of energy. Industries, especially in the manufacturing sector, pay electricity bills worth millions of shillings. Why is that so? As we speak, we have a geothermal company that generates power. We have another company called KenGen which generates power. We have a third company called Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO), which transmits that power to the consumer. Lastly, we have another company called Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) that does the utilities of that power. We also have the Rural Electrification Authority (REA) that deals with electricity. We are coming up with another body that will dig more into the taxpayers’ money to deal with energy. We are talking about a time when as a country, we are debating whether we need to collapse our universities and satellite campuses because the cost of running them has become too high for the people of Kenya. We are starting another commission The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
