    "content": "This country has been under threat of terrorists for quite some time. The areas he has mentioned, based on some research which I hope he has done, namely, the Lake Basin and the coastal area, are densely populated. Assuming that terrorists think that it would be a vital place for them to strike, I would rather we preserve Kenyans’ lives and pursue the cheaper way of getting energy for this country in the ways that he has indicated. It is important for us to move in that direction, but this country must also look at the budgetary provisions that we normally make for purposes of investing in energy. Dr. Simiyu said that the best area we need to invest in is geothermal because with geothermal alone we can generate, as he mentioned, 5,000 megawatts of electric energy. We can have enough power for this country and even be able to sell some to our neighbouring countries. Therefore, we just need to look at the investments that the country is going to do vis-a-vis the expected energy output and see what the best option is for us. Do we go for the most expensive and dangerous option or the cheaper ways of getting energy? The latter option is less expensive yet we can still get the output that we require from it."
