    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement by the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy It is sad that we can have IPPs contracts in this country that are so punitive to the nation consuming thermal power. As you are aware, the issue of climate change and the need for clean renewable energy in the globe is not only a concern of the human race, but also a cheaper way of generating energy. I would ask the Committee on Energy to also look into the various tariffs and regulations that have made it difficult for renewable energy, particularly solar energy, to be used in this country. Recently, taxes were levied upon solar products, which makes generating energy through the natural resource of solar very expensive. It is surprising that Kenya Power can make millions of losses, yet it is a monopoly that sells power to the citizens of this country. In his Statement, the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy has alluded to Lake Turkana Wind Power supplying energy to various counties. I do support that, but Lake Victoria Wind Power must also be investigated."
