    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I beg to Move:- THAT, Clause 26 of the Bill be amended- (a) in sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “under this Act” immediately after the words “revenue collected”; and (b) in sub-clause (6) by inserting the words “in consultation with the lead agencies for each natural resource” immediately after the words “Authority shall”. Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, the reason for this is that in the earlier version of the Bill, it had not been indicated that the specification especially for Clause 26 that is specifically dealing with the revenue that has to be collected and that the Authority is the one with the mandate to put this into place had not been clarified. By inserting the words “under this Act” ensures there is no confusion about which Act the Authority is using in the application of the revenue that is being collected. As we might know from the Bill, the actual collection will be done by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The clarification comes to make sure this regulation is specifically for the collection of revenue from natural resources. The reason for amending Sub-clause 6 is because we felt that most of the time in the area of natural resources, lead agencies know and have a lot of information. The previous Clause had not been incorporated with a view of tapping the knowledge from these lead agencies. The amendment seeks to bring them on board. Thank you."
