    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have heard the Assistant Minister's answer, although I have not received it in written form. I have heard him very well and there is only one new item that he has talked about, namely, geothermal. The rest is the same stuff that we have heard for many years. For example, hydro- electricity. The rest of the world is moving away from that. With drought and climate change, we need to have an alternate base of moving our nation forward. The Vision 2030 explains very well that electricity rates are supposed to be cheaper. We want electricity to be supplied to the villages. Industries should be put up in the villages instead of being put up in the city. The cost of electricity in Kenya is the highest in Africa. This is a critical component and driver of development. The high cost of electricity in Kenya has generally made manufacturing increasingly uncompetitive regionally and internationally. Apart from hydro-electricity and geothermal power, what is the Ministry doing to make sure that we actually move forward as a nation, with an alternative source of energy that is less costly and more reliable?"
