    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Total Outré’ Mer SA is a French company that trades in Kenya as Total. M/s Caltex is an American company. When you look at what has happened, you will see that Total has acquired a lot of the things that Caltex used to own. In particular, Caltex had 165 service stations in East Africa, 89 of which were in Kenya, eight logistical facilities, six aviation facilities and a lubrication plant in Mombasa. This is not the first time that Total has acquired huge interests in the energy sector, in particular, the oil sector. When Exxon Mobil was exiting the Kenyan market, Total acquired the entire 14 subsidiaries. What we are seeing is an actual ceding of the entire energy sector to foreign multinationals. The question that begs is: What strategy is the Government putting in place to avoid total control of the energy sector by these private multinationals? A clear example is what happened recently."
