Member to report to us such cases, where a contractor has been on site for more than three to four months. I want to assure the hon. Member that by 15th of this month, we will blacklist all of them.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kamotho has been a Minister for a long time. What he has said might be true. However, I would have to check my records.

Member, he can visit my office, so that we review what has been given to us from the District Development Committee (DDC). I will check on that record.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we are opposing this amendment because it is taken care of by two clauses already. If you look at Clause 5(iii); "production, distribution, supply and use of renewable and other forms of energy," the other forms of energy include what the Member is calling for. Secondly, if you look at Clause 103, it also takes care of it. If you look at our amendments in Clause 103, on page 582, we are inserting the words "biodiesel, bioethanol, charcoal, fuel wood." So, it is taken care of.
