"content": "Challenge for a better Kenya Tomorrowâ. We can only achieve that theme and dream by funding this Ministry properly. This is because it plays a crucial and very important role in trying to address issues of growth of our economy and development at all levels. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many other sectors depend on this Ministry. These include the tourism sector which is the backbone of our economy. Our economy depends on this sector for its growth and sustainability. We rely on the Ministry of Energy to provide reliable, affordable and safe energy for Kenya. For us to realize the goals of Vision 2030, we must look into ways of changing the ways we give services to our communities. The Report of the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information revealed that the Minister is facing unreliable energy supply as a result of environmental destruction. As a result of this challenge, he might not be able to achieve the desired objectives of the Ministry. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for him to achieve and overcome the challenges that he is facing in the Ministry, I propose that we increase investment into renewable energy such as wind and solar as he proposed. All of us know that providing renewable energy comes with its own challenges and environmental problems. Although the Ministry has indicated the issues and how they would like to address environmental challenges, there are no critical action plans to address these issues when we start looking at alternative renewable energy. I would like the Minister to look into ways of addressing the environmental issues that will arise."
