    "content": "Hon. Speaker, EPRA is supposed to regulate tariffs, but I think those regulations must be subjected to the Energy Committee. Whenever EPRA comes up with tariffs, it must bring them to the Energy Committee. Much as they are independent in terms of decision-making, it is unfair for them to push the lifeline. We want to assist Kenyans to pay electricity at a low cost and yet, we should do that having in mind the bearer of the cost. Therefore, when we increased the lifeline to the consumers from zero to 10 to 100, that took almost 90 per cent of KPLC customers to lifeline. At that point, KPLC can no longer sustain itself. So, it is something that we need to relook and assist."
