"content": " Hon. Speaker, Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding the proposed Kenya Electricity Generating Plant (KenGen) Project in Loiyangalani Mount Kulal Ward in Laisamis Constituency. Hon. Speaker, KenGen plans to develop Kenya's second-largest wind power plant in Loiyangalani, Mount Kulal Ward, in Laisamis Constituency, with an initial capacity of 200 MW. This is part of the country's drive to achieve a fully green national grid by 2030. KenGen has been undertaking public participation with the local communities over the multi-billion dollar plant, whose construction is expected to commence in 2026. However, the residents of Loiyangalani, Mount Kulal Ward, and Laisamis at large, who will be impacted by this significant energy initiative, are concerned about the lack of transparency and accountability exhibited by KenGen in addressing their concerns. As their servant, the community is concerned about the potential diversion of infrastructure improvements, particularly in the construction of roads leading to the wind power project site in Loiyangalani Mount Kulal Ward and the surrounding areas of Laisamis Constituency. The residents have a rightful and legitimate expectation of being the primary beneficiaries of the infrastructural development stemming from the KenGen wind power project located within their community, hence demanding that the road traverse Laisamis Constituency. Access to an improved road will not only facilitate the project but also open up the entire constituency for broader development opportunities. This situation calls for assurances that the community's rights will be safeguarded. Hon. Speaker, it is against this backdrop that I request a statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy on the following: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "1. A comprehensive report detailing the report's implementation metrics from inception, including key milestones, accomplishments over the years, alignment with national energy policies, and the total number of wind turbines that KenGen plans to establish in the project area, specifying the exact number or percentage that will be erected within Loiyangalani Mount Kulal Ward. 2. The total acreage of land within the Loiyangalani Mount Kulal Ward community that KenGen intends to utilise for the installation of its turbines, including any designated buffer zones and evidence of the concessions with the community regarding the land to be ceded to KenGen. 3. The action taken by KenGen to address the concerns raised during public participation by the Loiyangalani Mount Kulal community and Laisamis at large as precedent in the implementation of the project, including the formal agreement between KenGen and the affected communities. 4. Assurance that the planned infrastructure development stemming from KenGen wind and power energy, particularly the construction of the road leading to the project site in Loiyangalani Mount Kulal will traverse Laisamis Constituency. 5. The funding framework for the project, including any international partners or funding agencies collaborating with KenGen on the implementation of the project, details and nature of these partnerships, and the extent of financial commitment from these entities. 6. Modalities on how KenGen intends to implement the project prior to the full acquisition of the community land owned by the Loiyangalani Mount Kulal community, given the potential implications since Marsabit County is currently engaged in community land registration. I, thank you, Hon. Speaker."

The position of Uwezo Fund Manager in Kaiti became vacant in 2019 following the demise of the then-fund manager. The Uwezo Fund Oversight Board has yet to fill the vacancy, leading to a backlog in disbursing funds to residents. The inordinate delay in filling the vacancy and facilitating the office has negatively affected the local economy."
