For a long time, this country has had a lot of programmes for utilising the energy resources that it has. You know what we are doing with the geothermal renewable energy.

I am happy that the country is exploiting that resource to the maximum. We will bring sanity to the whole sector when we repeal the Geothermal Resources Act and bring it under the Energy Act.

The entities that are envisaged in the Bill are going to bring some smooth operations within the energy sector. The qualifications and the membership of that particular board, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the board members, are elaborate. It has called for people who are qualified and have various degrees like law, engineering, economics and sciences. That is very elaborate. When it comes to the Committee of the whole House, we will look at the areas that need to be amended. However, I am happy because the Bill has attempted to really consolidate all the energy issues so ...

concessions in terms of whether it is for coal, geothermal or petroleum. There is a particular regulatory framework that can be utilised so that we can avoid confusion.

I am also happy that there is a proposed fund for energy conservation. Energy conservation is very important. The obligation to conserve energy should not only be on the national Government, but also on the county governments. The introduction of that fund is also important.

With this Bill, we will have proper organisation in both the mainstream and downstream petroleum exploration. I do not see the National Oil Corporation here. Maybe, it has been absorbed.
