"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that should be the maiden answer that the Assistant Minister is giving after his appointment. So, I do not want to be very corrosive but allow me to lay a small background. This Question was preceded by a Question in this House where the Speaker gave a directive for the Minister to visit the sites. On the HANSARD record, the Minister gave a report to this House confirming that the degradation of the environment in Bura actually happened. That is why I asked part (b) of the Question. Why were the communities not consulted when the ban was lifted? That arose from the commitment made by the Minister then, in a public baraza and also confirmed by the Minister’s answer in part (b); that for the local communitiy, consultations and negotiations with the companies were part of the prerequisite conditions for allowing companies to resume operations. My contestation is that no consultations were done with either the local environmental committee at the locational level that was set by the Minister himself, or the District Environment Committee. Why did NEMA open writs and give letters for resumption to the companies, when consultations and works were not done to the satisfaction of the community? I wish to table this letter."
