    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope I will not be interrupted again, so that I can finish. My point is that, we all want to be fairly informed about these amendments because they are very fundamental. I would like to see some research concerning their implication on the overall Bill. I cannot sit here and legislate in ignorance. I do not know the implications of these amendments and I am sure this is the same with every Member. It is very important for us to take this break and let these amendments to synthesis. We should give them to our research officers so that we know the implications. We want to make amendments to the Petroleum Bill because it is very critical for this country. Wars have been fought in petroleum producing countries because of some of these issues. We do not want to put Kenya in line with other countries where people are fighting over oil because they cannot agree even on legislation. It is very important that this Committee gets time to consult and give us a report. We have amended this Bill so many times that between the new Bill and the original one, you cannot tell the difference. It is important that we get it right this time. I am glad the Committee agreed with the Mover to report progress. I want to ask the House to agree with the Committee. We can set aside a day in the House Business Committee (HBC) to bring this Bill another day, so that people can discuss the amendments from a point of knowledge and reason on the implications of the amendments we are making. With those words, I beg to support."
