I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.51(1)(b) to make a Statement on the activities of the Standing Committee on Energy for the period commencing January, 2022 to April, 2022. During the period under review, the Committee considered several statements and is currently considering one Petition. At the moment, there are no Bills pending before the Committee. With regard to Statements, pursuant to Standing Order 48(1), at the sitting of the Senate held on 10th March, 2022, Sen. (Dr.) Isaac M. Mwaura CBS, MP, requested for a Statement from the Committee concerning the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Felix Odhiambo. The Ministry of Energy provided a response which was shared with the Senator. In their response, the Ministry of Energy indicated that investigations into the incident had revealed that Mr. Felix Odhiambo was not an employee of Kenya Power and that he was undertaking illegal activities on Kenya Power’s Overhead Power System at Mwihoko area where he, unfortunately, was electrocuted, and later on, succumbed to injuries on 18th Jan, 2022. Currently, DCI officers at Githurai Police Station are doing an inquiry. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Committee also followed up on several statements; one sought by Sen. Cherargei concerning the malpractices by players in the Energy sector, including suppliers of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). The other one was sought by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. on the sharp rise in fuel prices, imposed by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). The Committee is currently considering a response from the office of the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Mining on a Petition submitted by Consumers"
