Abdi Ali Abdi","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provision of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding power outages in Masalani and Ijara Wards in Ijara Constituency. For the last three months, Masalani and Ijara towns of Ijara Constituency have been experiencing power outages that sometimes last for 30 days. The outages are believed to have been caused by Kenya Power (KP) negligence in routine maintenance and replacement of dilapidated poles. The power outages are a major concern for the local community. Regrettably, the lack of reliable electricity has caused significant disruption to households and businesses, leading to massive losses of perishable commodities, including milk and fruits. This is due to the failure of storage facilities such as coolers and fridges. Moreover, learning institutions and health facilities in the area have been forced to rely on generators for their operations, which increases their operational costs. It is against this background that I request a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy on the following matters: 1. What measures has the Government taken to ensure that the residents of Masalani and Ijara towns have access to reliable electricity? 2. Does the Government plan to compensate affected businesses in Masalani and Ijara towns following massive losses of produce incurred, especially by vendors who sell perishable commodities? 3. What plan is the Government putting in place to install a power station in Masalani and Ijara wards to provide stable and reliable power connectivity, given that the current unreliable connectivity is from Hola Town, Tana River County? Thank you."},{"id":1433675,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1433675/?format=json","text_counter":42,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.
