    "content": " I have not seen the guidance the Chairman has given me though he is my friend. I have taken note of what he has said. However, I want to be honest with myself. Part of this Report says that they are going to improve. That means they have not satisfied the environmental issues 100 per cent. Therefore, my worry is, now that we only have six active months left: who will help these Kenyans to make sure we have a 100 percent compliance of environmental issues? We had an issue of air pollution. You heard what Members said about children getting sick and so on. We also had the issue of water that is discharged from the factory. Remember, we had put a condition as the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources that the two ponds must be introduced in series. We also directed that fish and other marine life must be introduced in those ponds so that we can confirm the safety of the discharged water. When there is fish living in those ponds, it automatically confirms that there is no pollution in the discharge by the London Distillers, Kenya Ltd. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I conclude, I am a worried man because we have not done enough for Kenyans. The Committee of Implementation, which was meant to implement the recommendations set out by the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, has not done enough. I wish to oppose this Report."
