    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to second this very important mediated version of the Energy Bill for the same reasons that I gave earlier, that we are in a new regime under the new Constitution. The existing legal framework for management of the energy sector is no longer useful in a country that is democratic like ours and the Constitution requires public participation. Secondly, it is because we need a legal framework that will capture the two levels of government. If you look at the Constitution, you will find that energy reticulation is a function of both the national and county governments. We have to find the interface and ensure that there is a role that will be played by county governments when it comes to energy matters. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, as a country, we are moving from the old systems of getting energy towards having green energy. We are talking about wind power which is clean and green. I think the Senator for Nyeri may not say the two words, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
