    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not like to dwell on the words \"least cost\". What we need in this country is to increase our power generating capacity. In fact, we have not been investing a lot in power generation. We want to get it from every source. Power is very expensive to invest in. If today we are going to build our own hydro-electric power generating plant, it will initially be expensive. If doing that is comparable to getting power from Ethiopia, let it be so. We are looking at alternatives sources of renewable energy, namely hydro-electric power and other sources of energy, so that we increase the capacity of our energy sources. If the power from Ethiopia is cheaper than building a hydro-electric power generating plant in Tana River, then let it be so. The study has not been finalised. It is being done. Let the hon. Member wait for the outcome of the study. We have not decided on the issue yet. These are plans. As for the incentives, I still repeat that incentives to investors in this country are well established by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Ministry of Trade. There is nothing specific to this Ministry alone. 1098 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 10, 2008 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to rest my case."
