    "content": "improve their lives. It is through such Bills that we can express what we want to have in future. I have not seen anything that touches on where we are coming from and where we are headed in this Bill. It is important for us to touch on that also so that it can give good guidance to the nation. Why am saying that? This is because most of the time we have records in place, but we do not refer to them. So, it is important for us to also refer to them and see how best we can improve. The other thing is that; the drilling of petroleum endangers the environment and its ecosystem. Let us improve this Bill so that proper measures are put in place. I want to know how the communities living around there will be protected from the negative effects of the petrol. The other thing is about transportation. It also has its own effects. It can spill over and cause dangers. Therefore, it is our role to see how our environment can be protected and what we can do to make sure we reduce the risk that goes with it. I would also want to know the provision on how the Government can deal with the risk that can be caused by this entire thing. As I finish, Kenya Vision 2030 and the Second Medium Plan 2013-2017 identifies energy as one of the infrastructure enablers for our expected transformation into a middle level income country. It is the desire of every Kenyan to see how the Bill can progressively lead the nation into that. This is because if we do not plan well for the future, then Kenyans will suffer. I support."
