    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a report on the status of pending business before the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information as at today 28th October 2015. We have three pending constitutional Bills: the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 44 of 2015). The report on this Bill has already been tabled before the House. The Committee is awaiting Committee Stage amendments that will be done as soon as the Second Reading is concluded. The Second Bill is the Access to Information Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 36 of 2015), by Hon. (Ms.) Priscilla Nyokabi. This is a Private Members’ Bill, and it is a constitutional Bill. The Bill is currently under consideration by the Committee. We need to interrogate the Government and the media, including other stakeholders on this particular Bill. We expect that by 9th November 2015, we will have a report before this House after having gone through all those other stages. The Third Bill is the Energy Bill No. 50 of 2015. The Bill is under consideration by the Committee. By the 9th November 2015, we will have finished with the Bill as well. There is one report we have not tabled before the House relating to an official trip to China with the Kenya Nuclear Board and the China General Nuclear Power Corporation. This was on 6th to 12th September 2015. The report is ready awaiting adoption by the Committee. By 9th November 2015, we expect to have tabled the report before the House. With respect to Petitions and Motions, my Committee has nothing pending with regard to the two issues."
