    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member for Cherengany wanted to know the content of the agreement that we signed with the French Government and whether the agreement included a military component. I would like to assure the hon. Member that the agreement that we signed had nothing to do with the military. In fact, the agreement that was signed between the Kenya Government and the French Government was signed by the Minister for Energy jointly with his French counterpart. It was only witnessed by the Prime Minister and has nothing to do with military. This is about cooperation between the two Governments in the field of renewable energy. As I said in the statement, we have resolved to go green in terms of energy generation and we are trying to explore the potential available to us in this country which includes geothermal, solar, wind and bio-fuels. This cooperation, as I have mentioned, has already yielded Kshs7.5 billion which has already been advanced by the French Government to the Geothermal Development Corporation. This includes equipment for drilling. Last week, we were able to strike geothermal wells at Menengai which increases our generation capacity by 10 megawatts. So, this is real assistance that has already begun to yield results for this country. I table a copy of that agreement."
