We are very grateful to Kenya Power Company for getting electricity to people at the grassroots who have never dreamed of lighting their houses with electricity,\u201d said Lemain.<\/p>\n<p>Lemain spoke in the area where he lauded the government for its commitment to installing electricity to all households in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want us to continue with the same spirit so that we install electricity to all the villages in my sub county. I am now a happy man because what seemed so impossible is gradually becoming a reality to our people,\u201d he reiterated.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Sunkuyia, the Chairman of Emesuti Dispensary acknowledged the project was a big boost to the residents as the dispensary could now perform 24 hours without intervention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis being a hospital, electricity is very important as some operations require electricity to function.
