    "content": "Let me stop there and talk about hydro a bit because for a long time, most of the hydro generation of electricity has been on Tana and Athi River yet in this country, we have many rivers. Let me touch River Nzoia that borders my constituency. When River Nzoia floods, our brothers in Bundalangi normally suffer a great deal. For many years, we have cried and said that many dams or a series of dams should be built on this river, which can then be used for many other things including generation of electricity. For a long time, it has just been cries for people in our part of the country. The potential in generating of green energy in this country is enormous. I do not see the rationale why we had to rush to nuclear energy, which as you have heard, has a lot of hazardous consequences in terms of exposure and the danger for terrorism. So, I would like to go on record and say that the Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board needs to be disbanded. Then we should come up with a board that will look at the enormous potential that we have in green energy and exploit it to the maximum for the benefit of our people. As I wind up, let me once more thank Dr. Ottichilo for having come up with this Motion. I also concur with those who are saying that we need to quickly - because I am sure we shall pass this Motion - develop a Bill out of it, so that we can once and for all disband this Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board and set up a board that will look at this potential in green energy. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
