Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing me to contribute to this Report. Let me say that there are many myths surrounding issues of energy. Like the way the earlier contributor said, the beauty of geothermal is that it is underground, considering the areas where GDC has been exploiting.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There are quite a lot of problems that we have been experiencing in the whole country due to the way we dispose of our waste. Something which is very common in every centre is the burning of plastics found in those centres.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I had just indicated, if we could really manage waste properly the way it should be and ...
