    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to contribute to this Report. Let me say that there are many myths surrounding issues of energy. Like the way the earlier contributor said, the beauty of geothermal is that it is underground, considering the areas where GDC has been exploiting. They have not come out to tell us how much we expect from each region. There are other regions with potential and in other areas research is still being done. Despite that, I do support this report but I still feel that we really need to open up on the issue of energy. So far, it seems that the people who are in it are the “who is who” in this country. It is time we opened up on the issue of energy. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will also find that the Ministry of Industrialization, which is the main consumer of power, is not connected to organizations like GDC and I think it is time we told them to consult so that whenever they talk of industrial growth in the country, they are not far. I would like also to talk about our training institutions. It is really sad to hear that many people who work in those firms do not have specialized skills because for them to get the skills, they can only get that special training in universities in Japan, Iceland and so on. We need to empower our universities and suggest that the departments of engineering and sciences should be upgraded and the universities given more funding to engage in more research. I also feel that there are some institutions in this country which were there before the GDC like KenGen. I believe that we have been funding KenGen but what we have been getting from that institution is not as much what the GDC has done. This is a young institution and I know what they have been doing and I can say they have been doing a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
