SUBMISSIONS ON THE STATUTE LAW (MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS) BILL, 2020

Natural Justice opposes proposed amendments in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2020 that would remove representatives appointed by the Council of Governors from the boards of the Energy Petroleum Regulatory Authority and the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation. The organization argues that energy regulation and planning are shared functions between national and county governments under the Constitution and the Energy Act, necessitating county representation to ensure effective collaboration and the fulfillment of county-specific energy needs.

• The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2020 proposes the removal of the County Executive Committee Member nominated by the Council of Governors from the Board of the Energy Petroleum Regulatory Authority and the removal of four members appointed by the Council of Governors from the Board of the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation.
• Natural Justice argues for the inclusion of Council of Governors appointees because the Constitution assigns energy policy, regulation, and reticulation functions to both the national government and county governments.
• The Energy Act establishes a shared obligation between national and county governments to provide energy and mandates the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation to consult with county governments on electrification and renewable energy master plans.
• County governments hold specific powers under the Energy Act regarding the conservation of energy, the establishment of energy promotion funds, and the enforcement of energy consumption standards for buildings and industry.
