    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended─ (a) in Sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “and the petroleum agreement” immediately after the words “in accordance with this Act” appearing in paragraph (h); (b) in Sub-clause (5) by inserting the words “to carry out his or her duties under (c) this Act” immediately after the words “and assistance”; (d) in Sub-clause (6) by deleting the closing paragraph appearing immediately after paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new closing paragraph─ “commits an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding twenty million shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or to both”. The import of this amendment is to provide that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) shall upon the recommendation of the Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (UPRA) approve the transfer or assignment of any interest in a petroleum agreement in accordance with the Act. Further, the amendment also seeks to provide that an occupier of any building or vessel shall provide the CS with all reasonable facilities and assistance to carry out his or her duties under this Act. The amendment also seeks to create clarity in terms of spelling out the penalties for a person who obstructs the CS through an authorized officer; or knowingly or recklessly makes a statement or produces a false or misleading statement in material particular to the CS."
