    "content": "We decided to delete the whole of Part V of the Energy Bill that we passed. Part V that was deleted was transferred to the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill because these matters were not concerned with energy. They were concerned with petroleum. So, we deleted them and brought them into the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill. Splitting of ministries was done through an Executive order. We now have the Ministry of Mining and Petroleum. But in as far as matters pertaining petroleum, initially, we had the Petroleum Act, which does not sufficiently cover all the issues that have been raised here. Initially as a country, we were not extracting petroleum. It is a new phenomenon in the country after the discovery of oil in Lokichar and other 35 blocks within the Lamu Basin. In total, they are 37 blocks. The other blocks are in the Rift Valley, Turkana Area."
