came to them from the public. The people have spoken about the Bill before us. So, I agree that we be given time so that we have an opportunity to interact with the report. This is because some of us have had the opportunity to look at it while others have not. That will enrich the thinking of the Members when contributing to the Bill. So, I support the suspension of the House so that we get more time.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for according me this opportunity to brief the House on what I have been doing since the House was suspended to give us an opportunity to go and read the Bill and the Report of the Committee and get back to this Chamber at 2.30 p.m. to debate on the same.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support Sen. Khaniri’s Statement. It is worth noting that power outages are not only a common phenomenon in Vihiga. Meru is one of the worst hit counties in terms of power outages despite there being some sub-stations within the county, especially in Maua where I come from. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have stayed without power. I have a generator which runs my house yet I have KPLC next to my door. So, the problem that we are talking about cuts across this country. As the Committee looks into this matter, there are ...

I would like the Chair to tell tthis House whether he is a part of the cartels. We have a lot of respect for the Chairperson because he is my personal friend. Whether he is a part of ...
