right thinking Kenyan will go that far. I beg that this House gives the same support in the same spirit to the Affirmative Action Social Development Fund because these funds are the same. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “midstream or” appearing immediately after the words “not include”. Clause 3 as it is, excludes midstream operations. I want it included because midstream operations include transportation, storage and refining natural gas. Kenya is about to construct a pipeline. We are just about to spend close to Kshs200 billion to construct the pipeline. This will fall under the midstream operations, which are excluded in this Bill.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (l) of Sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “is considered unsafe which” immediately after the words “or building that” in sub-paragraph (i). The import of this amendment is to put a reason why the CS may order the cessation of any operations and withdraw all persons from any structure or building used in upstream operations. The addition is when those structures are considered unsafe. This goes well with the sub-clause with indicates the issue of safety.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Clause 17(1)(d) enlists the Director-General (DG) as a member of the board of directors using a definite article when at this point, the DG is not even known because he falls under Section 23 of the Bill. I want to add those words to make clarification.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 45 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (3). This is a very serious amendment. As it is, the clause allows the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to execute an agreement on petroleum. That is the case when there are no bids or when the received bids do not meet the minimum requirements for a petroleum agreement. It is also the case when there is insufficient data in relation to a block. This is a recipe for corruption and manipulation. Giving sole discretion to the CS is too much. It is ...
