    "content": "On the Kshs8 billion, hon. Yinda asked whether the money will also be used to buy rigs. Yes, I say that the money will be used for geothermal resource assessment and this will also include rigs. We will buy rigs and also do the exploratory drilling. As of now, we have two rigs of our own and that is why we are actually drilling in the Menengai area. Two more rigs will be bought using AFD funds from France. So, we will keep acquiring rigs up to some optimal number. We also do not want to have so many rigs, but I am sure that money will be used. On the question asked by hon. Kigen about why only donors do the work while we have got money from the Government of Kenya (GOK), yes, we have asked for donors, because all these things require counterpart funding from the GOK. We have asked for a lot of money from GOK resources. In the discussions with the Departmental Committee on Energy, we have shown them what we have requested, what we have been given and the deficit; we hope in due course we might get extra money, but there is some money from GOK for that."
