    "content": "If you watch National Geographic, there is so much scientific advancement that you get from national geographic and other science based on television. If you walk along the streets, you generate so much power such that if panels were established below where people are walking then you are able to generate power and tap that power for use instead of it going to waste. I want to confirm that. I was talking about the Kalashnikov rifle; the AK 47. We celebrated its discovery some 50 years ago but today, we regret because the Kalashnikov is responsible for global insecurity, not just in Kenya but the entire world. The number of people we are losing to the Kalashnikov is so much such that we regret the advancement along those lines. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my colleagues have mentioned about the dangers posed by nuclear power. I just want to mention one aspect in which we do not need nuclear power in this country. We are committed under Vision 2030 to supply water to each and every home but at the moment we are not able to do that. Instead of diverting our attention to nuclear power, we should concentrate our finances and our energies towards supplying water to our people. The amount of water required in terms of management of nuclear power is so much. The resource that we need in terms of water is so much and we should use the finances that we have to supply water to our people. Finally, three quarters of our country is marginal and has so much solar power. Many parts of our country experience floods. For example, where I come from, Kericho, the excess flood waters that go to the low lying areas of Kano and the rest of Nyanza should be tapped to generate hydroelectric power. We should regulate the flow of these waters to the low lying areas so that at the end of the day they do not cause us so much havoc in terms of flooding. I wish to thank hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo. I agree with him on many scientific views with the exception that I have not agreed with him a 100 per cent in terms of Genetically Modified Foods (GMO). Thank you for the opportunity given."
