Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am supporting Sen. Orengo because my fear – and I said yesterday that I would like to be on record because there is something that I disagreed with and I can see things being rushed without proper consultation and time for us to digest it. It is important that we be given more time to look at this because it touches us and it concerns this House. So, I think the suggestions that have been put forward should be considered. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is within our mandate, but I was surprised to see it being tabled in this House yesterday. It has not come to our Committee. I contributed yesterday and said that it needs a lot of amendments. I also said that it has come a little bit too late, because we should have deliberated on it much earlier. The Chair is not here and the Committee has not looked at it. Therefore, it puts us into a difficult situation.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support and commend this Committee for the work they have done in reaching out and bringing us this Report with the recommendations that they have put in. Just like other Committees, the Senate Committees are doing very well and deserve commendation. Without power in our country, we cannot develop our country. As Sen. Musila said, the people living around where power is generated need to be involved. The recommendations of this Committee suggest that we need to have a stakeholder’s forum to inform the counties about their potential in terms of electricity generation. I think ...

Madam Temporary Chairperson, I may be out of order, but I still think that the work of our Committee has been hijacked because we did not deliberate on this and yet it is our mandate. I said yesterday and I am still saying it again that even if it is passed, I would like to be on record as having stated that our mandate has been hijacked. We needed to deliberate on it, work on it and bring it to the House for approval. I feel very uncomfortable although my Committee Chair is not here. I would like to get ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to add my voice. I am a beneficiary of this and I believe that I worked hard. I support the sentiments of Sen. (Dr.) Machage and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. Indeed, I think that if we truly want to do a good job, this advisory committee should be made known. I do not know whether I am late in asking the Mover to bring some amendments on this. We should know, as the Senate, who is serving in the Advisory Committee so that we do not have a replica of what we know. Indeed, ...
