"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment, and Natural Resources regarding the viability, suitability and safety of Ombeyi Dump Site in Muhoroni Sub-County, Kisumu County. The Ombeyi Dump Site has raised significant concerns among residents due to its impact on agricultural activities, air quality and the environment. Section Three of the Environment Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) guarantees the right to a clean and healthy environment, while Section Eight of the same Act prohibits hazardous waste handling and disposal. The law further mandates safe waste management practices to prevent pollution and environmental degradation. The Ombeyi Dump Site has failed to comply with the waste management regulations outlined in EMCA. Additionally, Article 186(1) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 read together with Part 2(g) of the Fourth Schedule, assigns the responsibility of waste management, including refuse removal, dump site and solid waste disposal to the county government, in this case, Kisumu County. In the Statement, the committee should- (1) Establish whether adequate public participation was conducted before designating the Ombeyi Dump Site as a waste dumping ground. (2) Provide the Senate with an environmental impact assessment (EIA) report, conducted before and after the site was established. (3) Outline measures taken by the county government to address health risks, such as respiratory issues caused by air pollution, as well as contamination affecting crops, specifically sugarcane and water resources. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
