    "content": "exploration activities, Kenya also has a potential for gas. I think we have a lot of gas; it is only that we have not exploited it. I think it is good for this Committee and also, maybe, for the Government to invest more so that we can also use gas, because the power plant which is being established in Mombasa which I saw to be 960 megawatts again under the private partnership – that is LMG – that 1,000 megawatts will only be consumed by the railway. So, you will find that we will still have a deficit of the energy. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to move faster; we need to invest a lot of resources in this field so that come the next five years, we will be talking about--- If the cost is averaging, let us say 18 cents; if you can now lower it to even 10 cents; or if we can say that, every year, we should lower it from 18 cents to 15 cents, to 12 cents; then come the next 10 years, this country will be a haven for investors. We will have a lot of people coming to this country in terms of opening up the factories because everything is driven by energy. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge this honorable House that this is an area which all of us need to look at so that we can really apportion our national resources to it so that we can develop. So, I do not want to take much time; I beg to support this Motion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
