    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is carting around the question. The question is direct. In fact, I have put some timeline of two or three years in my question. What strategic interventions are they making for investors who want to invest in our country? May be, for the record, he should know that electric power in Kenya costs three times more than in Egypt. If you were an investor and you wanted to make a decision as to where you wanted to invest, you would decide to go elsewhere. Do investors who want to make decisions have to wait for 18 years, so that we can have all the figures that he has given us? For example, I know of one power plant in India, which I visited, generating electricity using coal. It took three years to put it up. It is now producing 4,000 megawattss. Could the Ministry not think of a strategic intervention that would bring electric power in the tune of 2,000 to 3,000 megawattss in the next two to three years, so that we can begin to influence investors ahead of time? As things stands today, we are behind the Vision 2030 schedule, because it was envisaged that it would grow the economy at 10 per cent for 24 years. We are so many years into the Vision 2030 schedule. We are growing our economy at 4 per cent. At this rate, the 2030 that he is talking about will actually go to 2060."
