That is because when he says that we are producing 1,300 megawattss and the peak is 1,200 plus megawattss, we are basically operating at the margin. Surely, if we are operating at the margin, it means we are not serious. You know cost is a basic concept of supply and demand. As we are talking today, 80 per cent of Kenya depends on wood fuel. I mean 80 per cent of Kenyans do not have electricity. So, for you to say that we are comfortable because we are producing 1,300 megawattss, surely, you are not being serious. That is because if 80 per cent of Kenyans are still waiting for you to supply them with electricity, and you are comfortable with what you are supplying to only 20 per cent and at a cost that is not affordable. Really, do you have a strategic plan for the country or you are basically doing guesswork?"
