    "content": "THAT, the country is currently dealing with adverse effects of climate change. It is therefore not logical that there is deforestation and destruction of an environmentally sensitive riparian land like Siany Wetland. THAT, the petitioners have made all efforts to have this matter investigated and resolved by the relevant bodies, whose responses have not been satisfactory. THAT, none of the issues raised in this Petition are pending before any court of law, constitutional or any other legal body. THAT, the petitioners therefore pray that the Senate does the following- 1. Stop the destruction of the wetland and ensures that the ecosystem is conserved and preserved for future generations. 2. Protect the wetland from being subdivided by the National Land Commission (NLC) and the County Government of Nyamira through clear and correct boundaries and beacons put in place. 3. Direct NEMA to work with the community to restore the wetland and springs emanating from it to the original status through environmentally friendly activities. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No. 237, I am supposed to give time for Senators to make comments or interventions. Looking at the Order Paper of the day, which is fairly long, I am afraid I may not be able to give that opportunity that is allowable to us under Standing Order No. 237. Instead, we will proceed in terms of Standing Order No. 238, to commit this particular Petition to the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources for its consideration. In terms of Standing Order No. 238 (2), the Committee is required in not more than 60 calendar days from the time of reading this prayer, to respond to the petitioners by way of a report addressed to the petitioners and laid on the Table of the Senate. I thank you. Next Order, Clerk."
