    "content": "The Committee resolved to undertake public hearing in six counties, namely; Turkana, Marsabit, Lamu, Kitui, Nakuru and Narok. This decision was guided by the fact that these counties are hosting critical power and petroleum installation. Therefore, it is critical for the Committee to hear the views of the mwananchi residing in those areas. Consequently, the Committee has in the past one week undertaken successive public hearings in Turkana County that is in Turkana East Constituency, Turkana South Constituency and Turkana Central Constituency. In Nakuru County we visited Nakuru Town East Constituency and Naivasha Constituency. In Narok County we visited Narok East Constituency in Suswa. Additionally, the Committee shall hold public hearings in Nairobi County tomorrow, Thursday, 15th March 2018, followed by hearings in Kitui County and Lamu County over the weekend. Arising from the aforementioned, the Committee seeks approval from the House for extension of period for consideration of the two Bills by a further 21 days to allow the Committee to undertake and exhaustively conclude the public hearings as envisaged under Article 118 (1) (b) of the Constitution of Kenya as well as Standing Order No. 127 (30) of the National Assembly. Therefore, we wish to request the House Business Committee to consider scheduling the Second Reading of the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill, 2017 and the Energy Bill, 2017 on or after 27th March, 2018."
