    "content": "asked the Minister for Energy:- (a) what comprehensive programme the Government has put in place to enable areas that have not utilized the wind, solar, geothermal and biomass energy have access to such sources of energy and also introduce areas which are still not being fully served from the national grid; (b) what plans the Government has in opening up the energy sector to private sector investment so as to unlock massive energy potential to drive the development in rural areas in line with Vision 2030; and, (c) how much wind energy the Government intends to tap in the country in the 2012/2013 Financial Year and indicate the level of investment for the same. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to bring to your attention the fact that this Question was answered on the Floor of this House sometimes back. Out of the answer, a number of Members raised very many supplementary questions. The Speaker at that moment referred the Question back to the Minister to go and respond to those supplementary questions that had been raised by my colleagues in this House. Last week, the Minister came with answers to those supplementary questions. He said the answer was very long. The Speaker then asked that the Question be deferred to this week. I am surprised that the answer being provided to me is the same answer that the Assistant Minister had previously given to this House, yet he had provided me with supplementary answers to the supplementary questions that were raised by my colleagues in this House. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish that you advise on this matter."
