Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, once we fully establish the Kitui office, then we will see how we can decentralize further within the greater Kitui District.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of any power supply fluctuations at the KNH. This is because the hospital is supplied with power primarily through Ngong Road feeder from Nairobi West Sub-Station and Hill II feeder from Cathedral Sub-Station. In the event of power failure from one sub-station, there is instantaneous auto changeover to the other feeder through a switch based at the hospital, and this is not noticeable at the user end.

In the rare event that the two feeders mentioned above are not available, power to the hospital is also provided through a second feeder from Nairobi West Sub-Station.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, we were in touch with the hospital this morning. We were informed that the only disturbances at the hospital occurred on 3rd April, 2009, which lasted between 6.30 p.m. and 8.00 p.m. During the two incidents, the interruptions were caused by the supply of power through the Single- Phase instead of the normal Three-Phase connection. Since the KNH is a very important institution, I would like to assure the Member that we will follow up the issue with both the KPLC engineers and those at the KNH, to ensure that power supply is not interrupted.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not take responsibility for any damage caused to equipment, but I assure the hon. Member that we will work with the KPLC and the KNH staff to ensure that the interruptions are minimised.

On a point or order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. In view of the interest this matter is generating and because of the time we have, would I be in order if I ask the hon. Members to be allowed to contribute for only two minutes, so that we can have more people contributing?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. From the outset, I would like to thank the Committee for a job well done. From the list presented to us, these people have been nominated by various organizations. The Committee actually looked at them and selected maybe one from each of them. I know quite a number of the people in the list. They happen to be people of integrity and good standing in society. Furthermore, they also represent a good diversity in this country.
