    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to second this important Motion. First, I want to thank the Committee for presenting a very good report. This is a report that has been prepared very professionally. It is very clear and captures the main features of the visit by the Kenyan Delegation. I also want to thank the Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Gideon Moi, for the very excellent, clear and elaborate presentation he has made to this House in moving the Motion. From what he said, you can see that the Chairman is a very serious person. The chairman is keen on seeing Kenya move forward in the energy sector. One of Kenya’s biggest impediments to growth and development is electric power. The economic and social transformation which this country desires will remain a mere dream. Vision 2030 development strategy which we have talked about for very long will also remain a mirage and will never be actualized unless we develop the capacity to generate sufficient and reliable electric power to grow this economy. The report that is before us, prepared and presented by the Chairman, Energy, Roads and Transformation Committee, shows that the Republic South Korea’s power capacity was only 67,000 mega watts in 1961 when the civil war ended in that country."
