    "content": " Sorry, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on recurring landslides and mudslides in parts of Nandi Hills Constituency. In the recent past, the residents of Nandi Hills Constituency have been adversely affected by landslides and mudslides caused by rains. The following areas namely; Kapchanga, Lengon, Kimwogi and Uson have been heavily affected and the residents are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. Further, during the months of June and September, 2020, over 300 families have been displaced from their homes. Some were injured and their property destroyed by the said disaster. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on the following: (i) What immediate action is the Ministry taking to address landslides and mudslides that have recently affected the residents of Kapchanga, Lengon, Kimwogi and Uson areas of Nandi Hills Constituency that has led to destruction of property and displacements? (ii) What action has the Government taken to ensure that families and residents affected, in particular the young children and vulnerable people suffering the most, can access basic needs especially food and shelter and other essential services? (iii) What plans does the Government have to ensure that the affected people are settled in safer grounds? (iv) What future plans and precautionary steps has the Government taken to ensure that no further loss of lives and property is experienced as a result of mudslides and landslides in the country and, in particular, Nandi Hills Constituency? Thank you."
