    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Chair for giving me this opportunity. I rise to second the Motion that this House adopts the Report of the Select Committee on Implementation on its consideration of the Implementation Status of the Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on an inquiry into the complaints of environmental pollution by London Distillers Kenya Limited, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 30th September 2021. The issue of environmental protection is key. Just last week, we had a global conference of world leaders in Glasgow, Scotland to discuss climate change. Climate change is largely caused by pollution. Issues of pollution are key. The role of the Committee on Implementation is very simple. We look at the recommendations adopted by this House from various departmental committees and report back to the House on the status or extent of implementation of the same. In this case, we were looking at the implementation status of this Report which was tabled in the House on 29th August 2018. We have taken quite a long time to table the Report before the House largely because of back and forth movement between the parties involved. My Chair alluded to the involvement of the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) in this matter and the two parties - the complainant and London Distillers. We have had difficult times handling the matter, but we have now eventually tabled the Report. I am happy the Report is before the House for debate."
