Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to the Senate amendments to the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill. The fact that these two Houses disagreed is not a show of non-consistence in the work of legislation. The Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information which I serve saw it fit to have change in these four clauses that had issues. I believe that it is for the best of this nation because energy issues, as it were, are one of the biggest things that are going to be happening in Kenya for the next few years considering the fact that we have the target of 5,000 megawatts of energy. Therefore, there is need to ensure that legislation is well aligned to make sure that we serve Kenyans in the best capacity in this industry without opening loopholes that can bring inconsistencies in delivery of service to the people."}
