    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that parts of Nyakach Constituency fall under wetland area which are vulnerable, with fragile and unstable ecosystem, and that there is a serious degradation due to continued human activity. The areas affected include Rangul Location in lower Nyakach Division, Gem Rae in North Nyakach and parts of West Nyakach Location. (b) My Ministry has taken care of the situation as guided by the legislative framework governing the management of wetlands, rivers and lakes. Section 42 of the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act (EMCA) 1999, clearly stipulates how rivers, lakes and wetlands are to be protected. In addition to that, I gazetted the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act’s Wetlands, Riverbanks, Lakeshores, Seashore Management Regulations in 2009 which have greatly enhanced sustainability in the management of wetlands including those in Nyakach Constituency."
