    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Energy concerning frequent electric power outages in Wajir County that has lasted since 2017. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) Explain when the new power generator in Wajir County will be operationalized. It has been lying idle since it was procured in 2019. (2) Explain why the generator that broke down and has all the spares ready and available in Wajir has not been repaired. They claim that the contractors are in Tanzania and cannot come. Does that mean the Ministry does not have mechanics to repair the generator, so that the people of Wajir can get electricity? (3) State measures put in place to ensure that there is adequate electricity power in the county, as the generators in operation in Wajir County can only generate two megawatts against a demand of four megawatts required by the county. (4) Explain what the Government plans to do to operationalize an ex-Garissa generator. They took a generator from Garissa last year, which they claim will provide two megawatts, and it is still lying idle. What do they plan to do with that generator? (5) Explain when people of Wajir will benefit from the national grid, which we have been promised for eight years."
