"content": " Thank you. I also want to support Hon. Lekuton, that area Members of Parliament or leaders of that area and the community at large should be involved in bringing their views on issues pertaining to their community when such mega projects come up. My brother, Chair of the Departmental Committee on Energy, I believe there are enough competent people in the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum. Next time, we need to invite the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum and the Principal Secretary of the State Department of Energy here because they are competent people. That will enable us to ask them such Questions so that they can answer us better. I believe they have better answers than the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy. As my brother just said regarding Power Purchase Agreements, we should open up areas so that we have competition. Right now, you have ceased, and no power purchase agreements are being made in the country. We need to open up that space to have more players in that area, and we will get energy at a cheaper rate. It would be better for us if there were people who could give us power at a cheaper rate. I support Hon. Lekuton. I request that the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum open that space for other players to give out Power Purchase Agreements."

"content": " Public participation in government decision-making is vital in any democracy. Kenya is not an exception. We have to be very wary of projects like this being carried out in the name of energy and the provision of services to the people. In 1988, I remember very well a company called Kenya Oil Service that ended up in North Eastern Kenya, particularly Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit, and the region. Claims exist, some of them verifiable, that they buried toxic waste in that area, which is exacerbating the prevalence of cancer cases in that part of the country. In June of last year, I brought a Question to this House. The Speaker ruled on that matter. The Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry, and Mining was tasked with investigating that matter. My honourable colleague, now the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy, is in the House and can prove what I am saying. That matter has not been concluded until now."
