    "content": "There is an issue on the Board of the Authority in Clause 12.The management of the Authority shall vest in the board of directors consisting of five members not being public officers. The private sector wanted representation there. They were clear that they wanted most representatives in the Board to be from the private sector in Kenya. Again, this is an issue that the Members need to interrogate properly because they must agree and give us some insight on the amendments we can bring. There is the Energy and Petroleum Institute that is covered from Clause 53. Clause 57(d) says that:- “not more than five other members, appointed by the Cabinet Secretary, three of whom shall be drawn from the private sector with experience and expertise on energy matters”. Again, the stakeholders were really concerned. They wanted to be part and parcel of it. However, after lengthy discussions with the Ministry, the Ministry agreed that we should reduce the number of Principal Secretaries on the Board of Directors of the Institute from five to three and then combine Clause 57 (b)(ii) and (iii) for it to read:- “four other members not being in the public service”. That will literally be for the private sector without necessarily talking about them. These would be appointed by the Cabinet Secretary, similarly to Clause 12(1)(e). I will talk on the issue of renewable energy. Clause 73(2) states clearly that:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
