    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 51 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause 9 by deleting Paragraph (a). The President is using his powers provided under Article 115(1)(b) of the Constitution, which requires a contractor who intends to carry out upstream petroleum operations to apply for an operational permit from the Authority and make provisions for inter alia the procedure to be applied by the Authority. In this memorandum, Sub-clause 9(a) requires that such participation be guided by the principle of citizen participation as set out under Section 87 of the County Government Act, 2012. However, the specific requirements of that section were intended to govern participation of citizens in county governments and not in petroleum exploration business. Therefore, they are misplaced in this content. The President recommends that Clause 51 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause 9 by deleting Paragraph (a). I am sure that the Vice-Chairman of the Departmental Committee will have his say on it. It is tidier because Section 87 of the County Government Act does not provide for citizen participation on matters that are outside the jurisdiction of county governments."
