"content": "“clean” and “green” following each other. This country needs to invest in wind power, solar energy and geothermal power, in reference to which I have heard the Chairman, Sen. Moi, use other words that I do not want to use on public television. He said that geothermal is a more friendly source of energy and he used a word which I do not want to use here but the point is that we want to move to the level of energy that will be useful to the country. Again, public participation will be considered and communities will play a role. We have watered down the sole powers of Cabinet Secretary (CS), so that there is an advisory committee. Parliament will also have a role to play as well as other bodies in this country so that we move our nation forward. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for those many reasons, even as we discuss matters of energy, matters of environment are also important and they have been captured well in this report. They include protection from oil spillage and things to do with the hazards of energy to the environment. Coming from Elgeyo-Marakwet County which has the second highest forest cover in the country with over 40 per cent of forest cover, I am, more than any other person, conscious of the importance of the environment to this Republic. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you and beg to second."
