By JOHN NGIRACHUMore by this AuthorMajority Leader Aden Duale has suspended a proposed law on exploration of oil. Mr Duale said he suspended the Petroleum (Exploration, Development and Production) Bill on Wednesday evening after realising that the Energy Committee was changing too many clauses in the draft law he has sponsored on behalf of the government. The committee had proposed amendments to more than 50 clauses in the bill and introduced a new part. Mr Lomenen was among the handful of MPs working on the bill, which sets the percentages of revenue from oil to be shared amongst counties and communities where the oil is found. We will not allow it,” said Mr Lomenen.
