    "content": " Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Part VI of the Bill has created an Energy Tribunal to hear and determine appeals against decisions of the Energy Regulatory Commission and the Minister. The Tribunal will be chaired by a lawyer appointed by the President in consultation with the Judicial Service Commission. He should have the relevant experience in matters related to energy. Part VII of the Bill is on the Miscellaneous Provisions which gives the Minister the authority under Clause I(i)2 to procure emergency power capacity in the event of a power crisis. This provision does not exist in the current Electrical Power Act. Currently, the Minister can only use the KenGen bulk supply licence and this limits his operation flexibility. This clause also gives the Minister power to maintain national strategic petroleum stock. Currently, this function can be undertaken under Cap.502 on Export and Import of Essential Commodities, through a Legal Notice issued by the Minister for Trade and Industry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is now my humble request to invite the hon. Members to contribute on the Bill and formally adopt it. 3788 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 21, 2006 I beg to move and request Mr. Obwocha to second the Bill."
