    "content": "education institutions. We have enough mechanism of having a very robust Parliament which I have the privilege and honour to serve in, and which will be able to continuously enact amendments to be able to look at the changing phases. We have the Departmental Committee on Energy which has visited twelve counties in Kenya to have an effective public participation and to take into concern every single comment by Kenyans to know what nuclear energy is. By reading the HANSARD, I remember the day we were trying to evacuate hydro power from Jinja to Kenya and there was hue and cry all over the place because people were saying: “This is unacceptable! It is too expensive! It is going to commit generations upon generations of Kenyans to debt that is not going to be serviced.” Today, many of our industries and backup power is because of having plugged into and brought transmission lines from Uganda into Kenya. Now, we want to return the favour to our neighbors; a favour that they themselves have challenges in. They know they have challenges in terms of power production but Kenya, having the most solid balance sheet in the entire region, is the only country which can be able to turn back and look at its neighbors, be it Zaire or Ethiopia and say to them: It is time for us to actually continue being the backbone that people rely upon. That the dream that is of East African region, COMESA or PTA region will be shouldered by a great country called Kenya."
