    "content": "It is important to also know that we are diversifying as a nation by encouraging more investment in the geothermal sector so that we stop relying on rains. We need to rely less on hydro which takes very long to develop. We are increasing our capacity and potential in energy through a lot of investment in the geothermal, solar and wind areas. We hope that in the not- too-distant future, all these investments will come to bear and help reduce the cost of doing business in this country. This includes the cost of electricity which is critical in production in many areas. I want to assure Members that the import programme is being monitored so that it does not undermine the local farmers. This is something we are watching very closely. The projections from the Ministry of Agriculture should indicate to us if we are true to the programme we have on imports and make sure that it ends before August. When the harvest season sets in the local farmer will not suffer. This is something that we are monitoring very closely through the Ministry of Agriculture."
