    "content": "In his speech, the Minister gave us what their intentions, as a Ministry, are in order to achieve the goals contained in Vision 2030. This is a vital Ministry in the sense that in order for any activity to take place, it needs energy. The Minister has said that their capacity right now is about 1,300 megawatts, and they intend to increase it to 3,000 megawatts by the year 2013. They have to do that within a short period of three years compared to the period of about 40 years within which we have had about 1,300 megawatts. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has elaborated that they have to generate power using geothermal, wind and nuclear power. My concern is that the money that has been allocated to the Ministry is not enough. It is good for this House to know that if we achieve the reality of not having power shortages, hence power outages, this Ministry must be given enough funds. The Kshs11 billion given to the GDC for the development of geothermal and coal plants is not enough. The direction in which this country is headed is towards clean energy. We can only get clean energy through the development of geothermal and coal plants."
