    "content": "School, Saint Cecilia Catholic Church Murera, Zebra Academy and many other institutions and community projects. THAT, the encroachments pose a problem and threat to the residents of Igembe Central Constituency in the form of possibilities of droughts, extreme floods, reduced afforestation, reduced vegetation cover, pollution, contamination, sedimentation, decline in water levels, decline in water quality, loss of aquatic and terrestrial habitat, disruption of naturally-stable equilibrium, loss of flood attenuation, reduced ecological processes and other regressive effects. THAT, despite assistance from the Deputy County Commissioner and his office in Igembe Central, efforts by the Igembe Central Environmental Conservation and Protection of stakeholders, as well as the Kathithi Environmental and Conservation Group, to have the matter resolved by other authorities have not borne much fruit. THAT, the matters raised in this Petition are not pending in any court of law in Kenya. Now, therefore, humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources do the following: (i) Investigates the matter with a view of recommending the urgent recovery and repossession of the aforementioned rivers and water catchments that have been encroached upon in Igembe Central Constituency in order to salvage the community’s ecological resources and to safeguard availability of sufficient water to the residents. (ii) Make any other recommendation that it deems fit in the circumstances of the Petition. Your petitioners will ever pray. This Petition is presented by me, Hon. Kubai Iringo, Member for Igembe Central. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
