    "content": "area, we would have no problem but when we go into production of power using nuclear energy, we are putting this country into a hazardous situation given that the risks involved are very high. Let us look at Chernobyl and Fukushima cases. What happened was disastrous to that country and it is unfortunate that Kenyans have not been told the full scale of the deaths which occurred during that development. The site where we can allocate this particular nuclear plant is an issue. Right now, there are only two areas that can comfortably accommodate the construction of a nuclear plant; Western and Coast regions. It has to be near the sea or river because the plant has to be built somewhere out there. It takes 10 to 15 years to develop that plant. Moving it by road or rail is a problem. What are we going to do as a country? Once the uranium is developed and used, it becomes oil. What do we do with that oil given the current situation we have of security in the country? Everybody is going for that oil; and once you get that oil, you develop it further. That is why we had the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. What can we do as a country, if this fuel gets into the hands of the wrong people? If we cannot deal with the Pokots and Turkanas here in the country with guns, what will we do with the international crooks when they get hold of this waste oil? For sure, we will be leading this country into atomic war which, you will agree with me; other countries like the United States of America, France and Russia are safeguarding. Iran and Iraq are being besieged because of the atomic energy. While I agree on the advantages, as of now the disadvantages outweigh them. In that case, we urge our Government to put more emphasis and more energy in the development of other energies. In this case, I am looking at solar and geothermal. I beg to second."
