    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Energy Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 50 of 2015) laid on the Table of the Senate on Wednesday, 24th August, 2016 and pursuant to Article 113 of the Constitution and Standing Order 155 (3) of the Senate, approves the mediated version of the Bill. The Mediation Committee on the Bill was constituted by the Hon. Speaker of the Senate and the Hon. Speaker of the National Assembly on 18th August, 2016 and 15th August, 2016, respectively. The Committee comprised the following Members: Sen. Moi, Hon. Jamleck Kamau, Sen.Murungi, Sen. Musila, Hon. Olago Oluoch and Hon. Muthomi Njuki. The Committee had a sitting on the 23rd August, 2016 to deliberate on the contentious Clause. Out of the four amendments proposed by the Senate to the Energy Bill, only Clause 57 was rejected by the National Assembly. The Clause deals with the membership of the Board of Directors of the Nuclear Power, Energy and Petroleum Agency. The Senate had proposed inclusion of two persons from an organisation representing persons carrying out operations in the energy sector, a person from the Private Sector Alliance, Energy and a person from an institution of higher education. After deliberations, the Mediation Committee agreed that the person from the Private Sector Alliance would sufficiently represent persons carrying out operations in the energy sector. The Committee, therefore, agreed to retain only the provision including a Member from an institution of higher education and one form the Private Sector Alliance. I beg to move and call upon Sen. Murkomen to second."
