Marsabit Senator Mohammed Chute will table a motion before the Senate seeking investigations into high electricity costs and the contracts signed by Independent Power Producers (IPPs).

Chute said Kenyans were concerned that IPPs only supply 28 per cent of power to Kenya Power but account for 47 per cent of power purchase costs and called for proper energy management in Kenya.
