The Committee was able to give guiding principles on how to mitigate the effects of illegal sand harvesting in the region. The Committee, together with the local leadership, guided by the Senators representing Kitui and Machakos counties, is intending to conduct a site visit to the counties affected by sand harvesting and meet with the residents and the sand harvesters with the aim of arriving at a win-win lasting solution to the impasse. Mr. Speaker Sir, on the remainder of Statements, the Committee has written to the relevant Ministries and is awaiting responses as follows - (1) Statement requested by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda regarding water and Sanitation in Katito Town in Kisumu County; (2) Statement requested by Sen.
