    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other day we had the Prime Minister of Tanzania visiting Kenya and one of the highlights of his speeches was to cry about the Mau Forest and its effects on the Serengeti National Park. Last week, I met the President of Tanzania in Libya and the first thing he asked me was, what we are doing about the Mau which affects the Serengeti National Park. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you go to Lake Victoria today, in the last ten years, the lake has receded in some parts by up to 100 metres. You go to Lake Naivasha, apart from the river that comes from Kinangop, all the inflows from the Mau have dried up. Go to Lake Nakuru, it is virtually dried up. There is not a single river. The only river that used to flow in; the Molo River, has dried up. Sondu-Miriu Hydroelectric project is now operating at less than 15 per cent capacity. You look everywhere and you will see that we have mismanaged the environment."
