    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to begin by thanking all the Members who have stood in support of this Motion. For us, our observations had been that the OTS has been acting as a cartel that has even blinded the Ministry of Energy not to appreciate the powers that the Energy Act gave it. We were glad that the Ministry of Energy has finally been able to exercise its powers to protect consumers. Secondly, I would like to congratulate the Ministry of Energy for its able and quality response that it gave to the allegations made by the oil marketing companies. Thirdly, I would like to thank the Legal Department in Parliament for its able analysis and the Research Department for the research it did in this work. The issues that were raised by the sole Member who opposed the Motion have been dealt with by different presenters. I mainly want to mention that in the report, we mentioned that NOCK still needs to act within the provisions of the Public Disposal and Procurement Act and it was not the Ministry of Energy which was the procurement agency. It is the concern of all those who have spoken that they have raised the fear of the 30 per cent being attacked by corruption and the need to have a system that would monitor that. Finally, with regard to the issue of the Stabilization Fund, I must say that this is an issue that the Departmental Committee on Energy must follow up, so that we can make the cost of living more affordable for Kenyans. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
