    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to second this very important Motion. Basically, you will realize that because of the rigidness of our Government officers, we have not been able to embrace change. In 2000, China had a very big problem with regard to generation of electricity. They had a very big deficit and in order for them to get power, they introduced small hydro-electric power stations to support their shortfall. As a developing country, they commissioned a study of the rivers they had and all areas where power was not accessible, they set up those small hydro- power generating components which helped that country. I think that is the way this country should go. We have a lot of problems in terms of pollution by the fossil power agents. So, in order for this country to develop and in order for this country to be environmental friendly, we must embrace these small hydro-power stations. You realize that the rivers we have are capable of producing between 100 and 2000 watts and the amount of money which is needed to put up these projects is US$1,000 to US$20,000. So, even co-operatives will go a long way towards helping the people in the rural areas to set up these plants."
