    "content": "(Mr. Oparanya): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise here to support this Motion. Energy is very important for economic development. In accordance with Vision 2030, energy is one of the enablers under the Economic, political and social pillars. In order for us to achieve Vision 2030, we aim that Kenya becomes an industrialized country. We also aim that Kenya becomes a middle income country. We also aim to do that in a competitive environment. We cannot do all these if we do not address the shortfalls in the energy sector. The Minister has pointed out that the current electricity supply is just 1,300 megawatts and that it has to be increased to 10,000 megawatts by the year 2030. This is a difficult task and the Minister must come up with very innovative ideas to raise adequate funds to realise the 10,000 megawatts by 2030. I am aware that installation of electricity is quite expensive. I am happy that the Minister is addressing the issue of expensive power supply because Kenya is one of the countries in Africa where energy is very expensive. He is also addressing the issue of inadequate power supply."
