    "content": "(vi) Explain why EPRA has not implemented the energy and petroleum industry players’ reforms that would have reduced the malpractices experienced in the sector. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the private sector has been harassed by the Petroleum Institute of East Africa. This is a private entity that uses the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to arrest and close individual plants. This undermines the accessibility. In most of the cases, they present themselves as complainants in the said cases, filing applications through the advocate to deny the release of vehicles. Finally, these individuals are using the Petroleum Institute of East Africa, which is private. They go and close down a particular LPG filling plant, which is affordable to Kenyans. I think that the Judiciary should pronounce themselves--- For example, if they get a gas filling plant in Nandi, they take the vehicles and all the instruments and bring them to the DCI headquarters. The case could be in Eldoret, which is the jurisdiction. I do not know whether Sen. Olekina is part of the Committee on Energy. They should address this issue where people are arrested in Narok, the LPG is taken as well as the vehicles and many others, and brought to the DCI headquarters, yet that matter should be within the jurisdiction of court. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that was additional information that I wanted to give to the Committee. I thank you for that indulgence."
