The government of Kenya has pushed back the first draft of its revised laws on the petroleum sector for parliament’s approval until June; the law was supposed to have been presented to parliament in November of last year. The delay is to allow for the Ministry to continue its consultation with those active in Kenya’s petroleum industry. The Ministry is also expected to hold meetings with county governors and senators in February.
“So by the end of this (fiscal) year, that is by June, we expect to have put everything in place,” Energy and Petroleum Principal Secretary Joseph Njoroge said.
The new law is also expected to provide guidance on natural gas exploitation, not adequately covered by Kenya’s current law.
