    "content": "only 1750 megawatts. So if the Inga Dam was generating 100,000 megawatts, it is enough to save us from the expensive thermal energy and other forms of energy that are so costly. Today, for example, if you used to pay Kshs2,000 for your house electricity bill, you will be handed a bill of Kshs10,000. The other day, I think purely because of my political affiliation and standing, I was handed a bill of Kshs690,000 for my house electricity bill. When I asked what was happening, they disconnected my power from the pole as if I am a persistent offender. This kind of vindictive behavior does not help to heal the country. I am sure there are many others who have been treated in the same manner. We want to see, if we want to industrialise that we have peace in this region and that is why ICGLR becomes relevant. I want to encourage that we continue to have Heads of States meetings, not just to go meet, talk and part each other’s back and leave. We want to see the regional Heads of State telling Joseph Kabila that he must leave office because his time is up. You cannot have a Constitution that says you will serve for two terms and after the two terms you realize you are too young and important, and you have not finished your business. Nobody can finish business; there are always successions to carry out the work. DRC being unstable means instability in the region. We have refugees from DRC in camps in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Central African Republic, Angola, Tanzania and Kenya. How can a country be so split to a level where they cannot hold a census because they do not know where their people are? With those remarks, I beg to support the Report."
