    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support especially the proposal in sub-clause 2(h) where a there is a developer and operator. In fact, I wish it could be lowered to five per cent. Even more importantly, we should demystify these things. If you look at the map of Kenya and where the special economic zones and even export promotion zones are located, they are within a small part of our country. For instance, we now have 300 megawatts of power coming from Turkana in Loyangalan. Why can we not create a special economic zone there to tap that power instead of using too much money to transport it? Even where I come from, along the lake, part of the requirements for creating special economic zones is the water. We have a huge water mass there which is badly under-utilised. Really, even as we go on, let us be progressive and look at Kenya as a whole, so that we ease the pressure that we have in Nairobi where everybody seems to think that all the good things must happen here for them to make it. Otherwise, I support."
