I also rise to support the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill. I will not repeat what others have said. It is true that it is high time we came up with a substantive law for that sector. As Kenyans, we thank God for that resource that has been discovered in the country. The reason I support this law is because it has very good provisions. Part II deals with equitable benefit for the people of Kenya. It does not mean that because a resource is just found in one part of the country, the resources are not going to benefit other parts of the country. It is a natural resource. It is God given and, naturally, it ought to benefit everybody."}
