• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I just want to explain to Members so that we can move in the same direction. If you look at the classes of transactions subject to ratification as per this Bill before the House, you will find that it is clear that they include crude oil and natural gas, which is not bad. The problem comes in because there is Bill that is dealing with the issue of exploration, production and development of crude oil. The biggest issue here, if Members can listen to me, including the Chair of this Committee, so that we ... view

• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with all due respect to my good colleague, when the matter came up before the Committee of the whole House, I was very clear that he was one of the Members who were listening very attentively. I could even see him nod his head. I thought that the particular matter ended there. That notwithstanding, the issue has already been overtaken by events. This matter is comprehensively covered in the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill. Clause 58 clearly talks about Article 71 of the Constitution with respect to crude oil and natural gas. Therefore, we would probably want ... view

• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is actually misleading for the Member to claim that I said the decision would be made by two people. If, indeed, he was listening to the debate that was here before, it was clear it was about at what point the ratification comes to Parliament. So, it is totally misleading for the Member to say I was propagating that it is only two people, the Cabinet Secretary and the contractor, who should actually do that. He should withdraw that. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you very much. Indeed, I have just spoken to the Chair of the Committee and we have come to an agreement so that we settle the matter properly. Members, just give me one minute so that I explain it exactly the way it is. I am happy my colleague has got it right. As it is right now, the schedule says that Parliament will give authorisation to extract crude oil or natural gas following the approval of the development plan. The question is: What is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: the development plan? At what stage does it come in? If you understand the processes of extraction, the first thing that happens is that the Ministry and a contractor sign something called a production sharing contract. That is the contract that details the sharing ratios between the contractor and the Government. To me, that is the most important point. After that, the contractor goes out to start exploration. If they get oil, they come up with a development plan. The way Item 1 is means that Parliament will only get involved in the transactions at the level of the development ... view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second. I really want to thank the Hon. Members and the Hon. Chair. That was a good middle ground and it clearly talks about the classes of transactions subject to ratification. I am now in concurrence that we are on the right track. view
