    "content": "These companies must employ Kenyans, that is what we mean by train and employ local Kenyans. Part VI of the Bill deals with payments and revenues. It obligates all contractors to pay their relevant fees and levies as may be prescribed in the petroleum agreement and any other relevant legislation. It also talks about revenue sharing. Part IX of the Bill deals with environment, health and safety in the upstream production. This part obligates all contractors to comply with all environmental, health, safety and maritime laws in upstream. I am happy that Hon. Chachu is seated here. In the north, there were companies which did exploration in the 1950s and 1960s and they lacked the required natural resources which was gas, petroleum or crude oil. The wells and pans they had dug caused loss of life to many pastoralists. There was a question of whether these companies were actually doing exploration or dumping toxic wastes. It must be made very clear to them that they must adhere to environmental health and safety standards in order to protect our people when it comes to upstream petroleum operations. Therefore, this part obligates all contractors to comply with it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
