    "content": "they are two because part of the question has been asked by Sen. Okenyuri. However, I do not think the Cabinet Secretary has answered it to our satisfaction. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, Sen. Okenyuri was quite clear in her question about Natural Rivers. Nairobi where this Parliament sits and which is the capital city of Kenya, is known for its very dirty rivers. We are aware that indeed the President did put in place the Nairobi River Commission in the month of October last year, and that in this current financial year, there are budgetary provisions to enforce and see that Nairobi River is cleaned up. Apart from the Nairobi River, there are many other rivers. If you drive on Mombasa Road and you are caught by traffic just before the Nyayo roundabout, there is a black river flowing with effluent. It is extremely dirty. There are others in many other places around the city that you can point out. When are we going to see action from the Cabinet Secretary? The polluters of those rivers are upstream, they are institutions and people that are known, who continue to make our rivers dirty. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would wish that the Cabinet Secretary informs the House and the country when she will equally be celebrated just as she is being celebrated in the campaign to plant the 15 billion trees, for cleaning up our rivers because that would mean something great for this city?"
