"content": "I will now go to the Statement by Hon. Beatrice Adagala. This is a request for a Statement regarding continued power outages across the country. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding continued and increasingly frequent power outages being experienced across the country. In the recent past, the country has experienced persistent and widespread power outages, some lasting several hours and, in certain areas, occurring daily. These blackouts have affected households, disrupted businesses, endangered patients in healthcare facilities, and raised serious concerns over the stability and reliability of the national power grid. Despite previous assurances from the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) and other energy sector stakeholders, the problem persists, causing significant economic losses and eroding public confidence in our national power infrastructure. 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": " My concern is regarding the response. He stated that he would reply after we returned from recess. Many people depend on power in Ngong, Rongai, and Kiserian to operate their barbershops, salons, and other businesses. These businesses are closing down due to continuous maintenance issues and are experiencing outages up to three days a week. We cannot wait for a response after recess; we need an answer before we go on break next week. Three weeks is too long for the small business owners in our communities. Even some of our residences, as Members of Parliament, are affected. Hon. Gikaria, as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy, you must provide answers to this House. Why are you saying we have to wait until after recess?"
