I do not agree with this Statement because KESSHA members are having difficulties in running their schools. Parents also have many difficulties because the cost of living in Kenya has gone up and everyone is feeling it. If we increase school fees for secondary schools, what will we be doing to parents and where are they going to get money? What Sen. Mumma should have done is to bring The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

All counties must be compelled to pay their bills. However, we have been seeing Kenya Power increasing their rates in a way that nobody understands. For the common"

"content": ", those rates are so high that some people have preferred to do without electricity. Many people have turned to solar power because they can no longer afford electricity due to the rates. That should also be checked. Even as we ask the counties to pay, the bills should be checked. They should agree on the mode of payment because as I speak, in Machakos Town, there are streets without lights because electricity bills have not been paid. That is the situation all over the country and not just in Sen. Cherarkey’s area. The counties and Kenya Power should sit and agree on how they will pay the bills."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Chute of Mandera. Due to the ongoing drought situation in the country, it is very sad that 60 years down the line, we as a country are still discussing non-access to clean and safe water, yet many millions have been allocated. There is an agency called the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA). That agency and the water works that we have should be proactive. If boreholes are non- functional, you can imagine the suffering of Kenyans. Garissa Town is less than one kilometre but there is no water there, yet we are in the Holy Month of Ramadhan. It is unfortunate that our Muslim brothers and sisters are suffering during the holy month. When you go to Takaba Town, they have a paybill to fundraise, so that they can buy water. Being the Holy Month of Ramadhan, our people should not lack water. The other day we were in Mandera courtesy of my brother and party leader, Sen. Ali Roba. I was disappointed to see Mandera residents demonstrating because of lack of water. There are three non-functional generators and no electricity, yet we are in the Holy Month of Ramadhan. I want to call out Kenya Power for this ineptitude, incompetence and being moribund in-service provision. It is not a favour or privilege that they are doing to Kenyans. I do not support what Hon. Sakaja did by dumping garbage at the Stima Plaza. If Kenya Power cannot rise to the occasion, we should not blame decisions or actions that Kenyans take. When we were with the Senate Majority Leader in Mandera, he was informed about the lack of electricity. I want to propose this to the Kenya Power. Senate Majority Leader, you can inform the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi, about this. They should allow importation of electricity from Ethiopia. That way, it will be cheaper and affordable to the people of Mandera and Northern Kenya."
