    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to inform the House that a large area of this country is either arid or semi-arid and the Government does not drill boreholes. These boreholes are mostly drilled by NGOs and the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). So, if you are given CDF and then you return 16 per cent of it, this denies our people service. I do not think that the supply of rural electrification has been spoken to. The policy of this Government is to discourage use of wood fuel. The policy of this Government is also to light rural areas. We can only do that if we make the supply of electricity to rural areas cheap. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my last concern is how we will proceed."
