    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a request for extension of the period for consideration of the statement as requested by Hon. Abdulswamad Sharrif, MP for Mvita Constituency to the joint committees of Energy and Delegated Legislation. Hon. Speaker, as you are aware, a request by Hon. Abdullswamad Shariff Nassir, MP, Member for Mvita Constituency on 25th March 2021 and pursuant to Standing Order No. 218 (2) on the matter of petroleum pricing parameters used by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), was referred to both the Departmental Committee on Energy and the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation, to undertake a joint inquiry. The inquiry is on the pricing parameters used by the EPRA in determining the maximum wholesale and retail petroleum prices in the country and to report back to the House within 30 days. In a joint sitting of the two committees held on Tuesday, 13th April 2021, the Committee resolved to seek an extension of the period under which the Committee is required to present its report to the House by a further 60 days. Some of the issues that led to this resolution include: (iii) The seven members of the Committee on Delegated Legislation are also members of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee who were holding joint sittings with the Senate’s Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Report currently before the House for consideration. (iv) Seven Members of the Committee on Delegated Legislation who also are the Members of Justice and Legal Affairs Committee will be vetting the proposed Chief Justice. (v) The tabling of the proposed Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2021/2022 for consideration by departmental committees including the Departmental Committee for Energy. The joint committee has met twice including with Hon. Abdullswamad Nassir, MP and agreed on procedures to follow to undertake the inquiry. Therefore, the Joint Committee seeks your leave for extension for consideration of this inquiry by further 60 days from 25th April 2021 in order for the Committee to comprehensively address matters referred to it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is signed by Hon. David Gikaria, MP and Co-Chair of the Joint Committee."
