    "content": "Solar heating systems are good things to have, but they are very costly. The way it was programmed by the Energy Regulatory Commission shows that this was, again, going to be part of a corruption mix. The fact that we have a Committee that looked into these regulations and said that we cannot afford to do this – that we need to do away with them – is fantastic. We want green energy, but we need incentives. The Government has to recognise that the citizens at this particular time are really hard pressed. The economy is suffering. For us to have green energy, we need incentives and affordable solar systems. We need to partner with the Government to ensure that we go along that route. The fines that were being imposed were going to be detrimental to this country in terms of man-eat-man society. The Government and the people have to work together. When we were thinking about our Constitution, we were thinking about how we, as citizens, could own the Government and its programmes. Public participation is crucial but it was not done. I am grateful that we stand here today and say that we do not agree that the citizens of this country should be subjected to something positive, but in a negative form."
