    "content": "the words “environment by” in paragraph (c) and substituting therefor the word “minimizing”; (b) Clause 16 by – (i) deleting the word “material” appearing immediately after the words “any adverse” in paragraph (6); (ii) deleting the words “forty eight (48)” appearing immediately after the words “Authority within” in paragraph (8) and substituting therefor the words “twenty four”; (c) Clause 20 by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (3) – (4) The contractor shall, in employing and providing training for Kenyans under this Clause take into account the need to employ and train marginalized groups. (d) clause 26 by – (i) deleting paragraph (3); (ii) in paragraph (4) by inserting the words “in accordance with the Land Act” immediately after the words “the Government shall”; Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the Committee proposes to rectify the anomaly in paragraph (c) in the definition of the term “best petroleum practices’ by substituting the word “maximizing” with the word “minimizing” as the activities from the protection of the environment are meant to be aimed at reducing the impact of upstream petroleum operations and not maximizing the impact. The amendment in Clause 16 is to delete the word “material” so as to impose an obligation on the contractor to take measures to minimize any adverse impact, however small, on national parks and reserves and hence, not confine this requirement to material impact. The term “material” is also subjective and interventions to minimize the impact may be taken when it is already too late. Under (ii) the amendment proposes to reduce the time required for notification by a contractor to the authority of action taken to control pollution in case of an emergency or major accident from 48 hours to 24 hours so as to enable the authority to take action where necessary to mitigate against any damage as soon as possible. The amendment under (c) is to compel a contractor to take into account marginalized groups when implementing local contents."
