    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also add my views and thoughts on Sen. Khaniri’s Statement. I wish him well in his bid for Governor of Vihiga County. This is a very critical Statement. Our rivers and their cleanliness affect both the wildlife and the human population of this country. We have dealt with this significantly in our Committee. For those of us who have participated in the climate change conversations, these are conversations that have been heard even in the Committees while we were at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26). It is high time that we prioritise cleaning up our rivers because we are really killing our own livelihoods and those of the future population. It is interesting now when I read this Statement, that the water pollution is so bad that even the animals are getting affected. So, clearly, it is not even fit for human consumption for that matter or even for the flora and fauna around these rivers. You then wonder in a country like ours, 200 hotels and camps are discharging untreated waste into the Mara River. How can that happen, yet we are not at loss for laws? We have watch dogs like the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). How can this be overlooked? It is a very serious situation."
