    "content": "energy will make Kenya competitive with the rest of the world. Wind energy is good, but slightly expensive. We also have coal. Finally, we have got LNG which is cheap. I hope in the near future, we will use the natural gas which was discovered off the shorelines of Kenya. Therefore, I hope that the mix of all these will give us the 5,000 megawatts within 40 months as promised by the Government. However, we must work hard to achieve 17,000 megawatts by 2030. This is the only way we can achieve the Vision 2030. We need to be prepared to achieve this because we cannot dodge the bullet. It will come and we will have to accept where we are going. Finally, I would like to thank all the people who made it possible for us to visit South Korea. My gratitude goes to all the participants for their time, import and cooperation we got during the visit. In particularly, I would like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum, the Leader of Delegation, my Chairman, Kenya Nuclear and Electricity Board, hon. Ayacko, the Speaker of the Senate and the Clerk of the Senate. Special gratitude goes to the Korean Government through its Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, staff of the Korean Nuclear Association for International Affairs for their preparation of the entire visit, logistical support and hospitality. In South Korea, there are no natural resources. We are lucky because we have been endowed with every resource that God has blessed the earth with. We must ask ourselves why they have a GDP of over US$1.1 trillion when Kenya has around US$36 billion or US$37 billion. I am happy that the Government has put in place a policy for us to get out of the kick off stage. With those few remarks, I beg to move and ask Sen. Obure to come and second."
