"content": " Yes. They produce the power. They have signed agreements with the consumers directly. It is a pure monopoly that is exploitative. I expected the State department to clearly say they note Ksh83 per Kilowatt hour tariff is extremely exorbitant, and they would make efforts to open negotiations with the power producer, supplier and biller to reduce it to a reasonable figure. That is why I said that, the Statement looks like it was written and given to the Principal Secretary to sign. He could be complicit in this outright theft and exploitation of the people. It is as simple as that."

It is a direct relationship between the producers and consumers, but the price is regulated by the Government agency. That is the elephant in the room. Do you want to say something or come back later with a better answer? Energy is a very sensitive matter in this House. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I agree. Under Section 117 of the Energy Act of 2019, we regularised distribution, exportation and importation. One only needs a licence from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). KUDURA Power East Africa was given a license on 30th April 2020 by the EPRA to generate, distribute and sell. This is the position because it is licensed---"

I moved those amendments to liberalise the energy sector in a broad manner. This is the position I agree with. The question asked is whether we have reviewed this. A review was to be done in 2020 after three years, but it was subject to a request for the review. This is what Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo is asking us to do. 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."
