    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.51 (1)(b) to make a Statement on the activities of the Senate Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources for the period commencing 1st January, 2022 to 30th April, 2022. During the period under review, the Committee held 12 sittings. It considered one legislative proposal, one Bill, seven Petitions and seven Statements. In respect of Bills, the Committee is currently considering the Sustainable Waste Management Bill (National Assembly Bills No.22 of 2021) and a Report is being prepared for tabling. This Bill is important because waste has not been useful in this country. However, we have countries in the globe that have been using waste to benefit their residents. A city like Copenhagen and others are using waste to their advantage. They are using it to raise the standards of the people of Demark rather than wasting it. During the period under review, the Committee received a legislative proposal from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry regarding the proposed Water Towers Bill, 2022 on 19th April, 2022 and is scheduled to retreat to consider the proposal. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when this House rises we are going to Mombasa to discuss about the Water Towers Bill. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is already there. We will meet there as a Committee and deal with this matter. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in respect of Statements, the Committee concluded the following seven Statements, regarding- (i) The status of Kwa Muhu Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) resettlement farm in Kanjuiri, Ol Kalou in Nyandarua County. (ii) There are some IDPs who were settled in Ol Kalou after the post-election violence. They were taken to a farm that belonged to a person known as ‘Muhu’."
