    "content": "The provisions that this particular Bill has in Clause 147(2) states that the Commission may – I underscore the word “may” – through a fair, open, and competitive process in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Cabinet Secretary by regulations, invite applications for a licence under Section 145. Under Clause 148, it goes on to state that the Commission may hear any objections in public at a time and place of which not less than 15 days’ notice shall be given to the applicant and to every objector and the Commission shall make known its decision regarding any objection within 30 days after the hearing. My amendment seeks to ensure that the authority shall put in place mechanisms to avoid monopoly in distribution of electricity in this country. The New Clause 145A (2) says the Authority shall grant more than one distribution licence provided it has received more than one application and the applicants have met the conditions under Section 149."
