    "content": "Hon. Speaker, with all due respect to my good colleague, when the matter came up before the Committee of the whole House, I was very clear that he was one of the Members who were listening very attentively. I could even see him nod his head. I thought that the particular matter ended there. That notwithstanding, the issue has already been overtaken by events. This matter is comprehensively covered in the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill. Clause 58 clearly talks about Article 71 of the Constitution with respect to crude oil and natural gas. Therefore, we would probably want to ask the Member to look at the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill. If there are issues that he thinks need to be covered there, then they will be covered. At the end of the day, there is no point of having two legislations for the same thing. It is important for us, as a House, to be seen to be moving in one direction. I would like to persuade my colleague, Hon. Nyikal, to feel satisfied with the Bill that is before the House. That is because the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill is before the House as well. The matter is covered under Clause 58 of that Bill. If there are issues that he feels need to be canvassed further, they can be brought before the Committee at that particular time."
