If you ride on a matatu today, you will find that it has safety belts but they lie on its floor without being used. So, we need to have a police force that knows its responsibilities and is ready to implement the “Michuki Rules,” and any other rules that this House will deem fit to make sure that our roads are safe. We need responsible policemen.

We have heard even in other areas matatus are forming SACCOs, so that they can regulate themselves. This is because they have looked at the situation, and have known that the police will never help them. So, they have decided to regulate themselves. They have already started looking for a solution to the road carnage and the problems that they have on the roads. I know that a select committee to investigate whether miraa is a drug or not was formed a couple of weeks ago. However, this is completely different because the miraa issue had not been addressed before.

The Chairman has told us the steps they have already taken to address the issues that have been mentioned in this Motion. Why do we want to duplicate the efforts of a Committee which is already working? Why do we want to interfere with this Committee? My advice to the Members who have been proposed to join this ad hoc Committee is that they put more effort in the committees that they have been appointed to, so that those committees become more effective rather than duplicating efforts of other committees and doing work that is done by other committees.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. That request will be attended to by our Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. Like I had mentioned the week earlier, there is quite an amount of work to be done by the Committee and what I know is that the next four weeks have been engaged by previous requests for Statements and investigations that are going on. I would request the Member to give us about four weeks to respond. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I would like to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy, Communication and Information regarding the cost of power generation by Independent Power Producers (IPPs).

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Around here, especially, the level of noise is very high.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, the cost of power generation has increased massively, and that cost has been passed over to consumers. There is need to review the price in this sector to avoid disadvantaging consumers further. The Chairperson of the Committee should inquire into and clarify to the House the following:- (i) Why Kenya Electricity Generation Company (KenGen) has continued to purchase power from IPPs and yet, it is very expensive. (ii) The reasons for KenGen to continually purchase from one supplier instead of tendering again for new players in the market to bid. (iii) Give a comparison report on the ...
