"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of motor vehicles, I would say that to be realistic, it is only fair that we phase out the vehicles that we have today. Capping it to November might not be very realistic. It will require more outlay that we are going to save. If we give it an approach of a phase-out, that would be a more prudent approach. I must thank the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for having put a lot of money in development, but we must live in reality. Today, we are celebrating the increase in energy allocation. We are thinking about hydro-electricity. We are putting things up at a time when our rivers are drying. It will be a contradiction and lack of foresight for Kenyans to wake one day with polls and wires hanging and there is no water to run them. It is time we looked at each other in the face and dealt with the issue of environment and water catchment areas. As we do that, we really need to consider our other energy sources. Without energy, this economy is going to grind to a halt. To that extent I want to concur with my colleague, Mr. Kajwang, who suggested that we could consider coming up with a nuclear reactor to generate electricity. Everything has a cost."
