    "content": "actually invest more in that source of energy instead of just depending on the conventional sources that have also proved to be very expensive. Mention has been made about a law to force people who are building to incorporate solar buildings. This policy is being discussed. We expect to discuss it also with the Ministry of Local Government, because buildings are under it. We, as a Government, will actually try to move that agenda forward. The cost of power has been talked about. That is why the Ministry is actually moving to affordable power because we know that it is expensive to use diesel generators. We have been forced to have the emergency power because of the dependence on hydro-power which depends on rain. That is why we are moving towards geothermal, wind and other sources of energy, so that we reduce our over dependence on this source of energy. We know that power will continue being expensive unless we invest properly in other sources of energy. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, mention has been made about the governance issue at the Kenya Pipeline Corporation (KPC). We accept that we had governance issue, but I assure hon. Members that we have dealt with those matters and are taking appropriate action to ensure that the same is not repeated and the integrity of our system is safeguarded. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, of course, hon. Ruto mentioned about us thinking outside the box. He talked about the issue of nuclear energy. Only two weeks ago, we had the outgoing Director-General of the of International Nuclear Agency, Mr. Mohamed ElBaradei. The issue of nuclear is being pursued. They did advise that we need to look at the region. Not individually as a country, but as a region. We will look at that. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank all the Members of Parliament for their tremendous support. They have been very supportive to this Ministry. I will encourage them to continue doing so. I would also like to thank my Minister who is not here and my colleague, hon. Keter, the Permanent Secretary and all other chief officers of the Ministry for their wonderful work. I would also like to support the teamwork spirit that has made this Ministry what it is today. It is a joy to work with them. Mr. Temporarily Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to move."
