Mr. Speaker, Sir, there could be a challenge but I am really not aware that KPC has challenges in terms of supply of transformers. I would assure the Member that we undertake to ensure that KPC provides transformers where they are supposed to be supplied.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Member that the line from Elwak to Lafey has challenges. In fact, there was a substantive Question on this particular line.

I agree with him.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member is talking about shortage and substandard. I am not aware. There could be shortage of transformers, but I am not aware that Indian transformers are sub standard. We normally procure transformers through tenders and provide specification. We do not discriminate against any source or any part of the world.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Let me start by explaining that oil exploration comprises of five phases namely; exploration, appraisal, development, production and abandonment.

In this phase, Tullow is drilling exploration wells to conclusively determine the presence of oil. The next phase will be appraisal drilling.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, we are now exploring for oil. We have not yet discovered whether the oil we have is commercially viable. We have not therefore done a master plan.

For that, we must have a plan but in terms of exploration; commercial viability of oil, we have not done a master plan because we have not yet discovered the oil. We will only make a master plan when we know we have enough quantities.
