Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Cabinet Secretary in his response has stated that a number of residents in Kajiado County who live along the Kenya-Tanzania interconnector are already benefiting from connection of electricity under the Last Mile Connectivity Project which is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project.

The point is, people have no electricity and the KETRACO line is passing through their land. Kajiado East was my constituency for a long time.

Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I hope you are compensating me on the time they have taken. I was saying even as we make laws that will protect the finances and the resources at the counties, we must not make laws that will strangle devolution or service delivery.

money were available, a number of things would have been done to save her life. Unfortunately, they lost her in the process. This Bill is very important. I am not ignoring the concerns that were raised by Sen. Osotsi so that we do not open a Pandora’s box. However, as we do so, let us give priority to life. I thank you.
