    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion- AWARE THAT the Constitution has entrenched a strong Bill of Rights in Chapter 4, which recognizes human rights, including socio- economic rights and the principle of equality and non-discrimination; FURTHER AWARE THAT Kenya lacks a policy for guiding the management of these social risks in the design and implementation of infrastructure projects; CONCERNED THAT inadequate attention to social risks in the planning and implementation of infrastructure and other development projects at both national and county levels makes them unacceptable and end up costing the taxpayer colossal sums of money in suits filed before the courts and tribunals by local communities and affected interest groups seeking protection from such social risks; NOW, THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that- 1.The national and county Governments develop a social risk management policy that outlines the standards, guidelines and procedures for guiding infrastructure and other development projects both at the national and county Governments; and 2.The national Executive establishes an independent multi-sectoral agency under the authority of the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Social Security and Protection to design a mechanism that can factor in the inclusion of social impact assessments standards and monitor their implementation in infrastructure and other development projects in Kenya."
