Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Energy Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 50 of 2017) be now read a Second Time. This is an important Bill.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I have listened to all the quality presentations from the Senate Minority Leader, the Members of the Committee on Energy and Sen. Cheruiyot who is a Member of the Committee. This is one of those Bills where there are quality contributions because we hold dearly matters of energy. The reason why energy is not part of the big four agenda is because it is a cross cutting issue and an enabler. We cannot create industrial growth when the cost of power is high. We need energy to ensure we have food security and grow food. It is ...
