    "content": "Listening to the discussions and contributions, what happened all this time? This is because I have also seen places where stakeholders are involved even in the policy that is talked about in Clause 5. Probably, either stakeholders were not very involved or this is a Bill that came from the Cabinet or Ministry and was just interpreted and taken as it is. I am happy that it is being subjected to this scrutiny. This Bill is also important because it actually proposes the repeal of the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, Cap. 308 of the Laws of Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, going through it, I think the Bill starts very well because it starts with the issue of policy and strategic plan. This is important. That policy will be evaluated after every five years. After that, I think we run into turmoil especially at Clause 9. With regard to Clause 9, we see where the problem is. As other Members said, a lot of powers have been given to the Cabinet Secretary (CS). Clause 12 says we have a representative of the CoG. However, no provisions at all have been made as to the qualifications of that person, or the procedure on how to select him. In other words, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
