    "content": "“Relevant stakeholders participate effectively in the making of the national policy on petroleum operations.” We can talk about stakeholders generally. However, in this particular provision, there was need to put in that stakeholders would include the county governments and the communities where these operations are being carried out. Clause 6(1) says- “The Cabinet Secretary shall develop, publish and review a national petroleum strategic plan.” He does this without consultation with anybody. Clause 7 says- “Within three months after the end of each financial year, the Cabinet Secretary shall prepare and publish a report on the implementation of the national petroleum strategic plan.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the generality of these provisions, from Clause 7 to Clause 8 up to Clause 126, there is something that I find to be very odd. It is the CS who will negotiate contracts for purposes of upstream operations; him alone. How can we have a position like this? I have never seen a law like this. It is all there in black and white."
