    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No.227(2) (Committal of Petitions), this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of the public petitions specified hereunder by the Departmental Committee on Energy by a further period of 60 days with effect from 13th August, 2019 – (i) Water supply constraints caused by Kenya Power tariffs in Kilifi County; (ii) Demolition of houses in Chokaa, Embakasi East Constituency by Kenya Power Limited; and, (iii) Compensation of the Naivasha – Maraigushu land owners by the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO). The reason for this extension is that the Committee is still to get the Kenya Power Company, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), the Ministry of Lands and the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) to appear before it so that they can conclude these petitions. The Committee has so far received submissions from all the petitioners and made visits to Kilifi County and Chokaa Area in Embakasi Constituency to apprise themselves of the situation on the ground and interact with the area residents. We are travelling to Naivasha next week on Monday to also see the situation in the Naivasha-Maraigushu land. The issues carried in these petitions are serious. It is imperative that the Committee gets adequate time to address them conclusively. That is the reason for asking for the extension. This is a Procedural Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
