We are waiting for a response for the four Statements from the Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum. That is why it was put in the morning that we need a Motion to be brought to this House. Mr. Speaker Sir, on Petitions, on Wednesday, 16th November, 2023, a Petition by residents of Uyombo village in Kilifi County concerning the protection of the right to life, health and a clean environment and other constitutionally protected rights and fundamental freedoms was presented to the Senate pursuant to Standing Order No.236 and referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Energy pursuant to Standing Order No.238 (1). Their prayers include, ordering all responsible State agencies to remove Uyombo Village from the list of possible sites for a nuclear reactor. The Committee has scheduled meetings with all the relevant stakeholders and petitioners early next year. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know soon, we will be proceeding on recess. We have agreed that the second week of January 15th, we will be going to Kilifi to listen to the stakeholders. The Committee has a work plan to ensure that it reports back within the 60 working days as per the Standing Orders. I believe that when we come back in February, we shall be tabling the report.
